Maiden Tower painting/Daphné Bitchatch/ Bakou/ Azerbaîdjan

Examining links between architecture and art, nature transferred into architecture, the past, politics, and knowledge. Does art accommodate to it, or is it ahead of you it? Mandelstam's writing resonates as a distant memory when I hear the name of the city of Baku. "Words are stones, voice of the subject matter as much as the voice itself ...» By responding to this invitation, to go interpret in painting the Maiden Tower in Baku, I think about the stones of the tower that I do not know, I hope the stones will speak to me, there for many centuries, what they heard, what have they learned, will they be there much longer? These words of Mandelstam, will inspire the making of the painting: "I have only one concern on earth, a golden one: the weight of time" / Ossip Mandelstam/ Extract from a Poem / 1920.
