"Au travers de ses paysages, c'est la trace du temps qui se révèle, une empreinte qui nous invite à nous interroger : que se passe-t-il au-delà de cet horizon, là où notre regard, notre perception, ne peuvent aller ?"

Q&A
GET TO KNOW THE ARTIST BEHIND "DESPEGAR"In light of the upcoming exhibition, we sat down with Samuel Lemba. Driven by questions about identity, the artist explores different aspects of origins and identification. His work is guided by childhood memories and how they shaped him into the person he is today.Where do you find your inspiration?My inspirations come from many, many things and events that I have encountered or experienced throughout my life.Who are or what is your biggest artistic influences?At the moment, the person who influences my work is Mark Rothko, and my biggest influence is my childhood.How do you compose your paintings?There are generally three or four stages in the composition of my paintings. First there's the subject, the title and the literary meaning of it all, etc... Then comes the collection of images, which I specify can be anything. Once I've enriched them, I start by making a pre-painting sketch, and then I move on to the painting.What do you want the viewer’s experience of your work to be like?I want the viewer to project himself into a story, a scene or a moment.Three words that describe you best?Stubborn, dreamy, smiling.What is your dream project? Creating a film and writing a book.What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?No matter what happens to keep silent. -
