Raya Sorkine
At the age of twelve, he left school and, barely fourteen, with a small sketchbook, he set out on the roads like a nomad. He sleeps under the stars. Europe, Scandinavia, the Middle East... he goes everywhere, drawing or painting. Later he buys a caravan to continue his travels. Along his wandering life which lasts nearly twenty years, he scatters his numerous paintings all over the world, he marries four women and has seven daughters.
Raya Sorkine puts the visitor in front of a real pictorial firework. We have here a painter of joy, of love which marks his heredity. He is the heir of one of the richest revolutions in the history of art, having known classicism, impressionism and neo, the explosion of modern art and its multiple schools, Cézanne, Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall.
He paints at night listening to "his music" (cosmic or religious). His painting is deeply Slavic and deeply Jewish.
