His second solo show is on display in the Jack bell gallery. I want to paint the daily life of the people around me, my family and friends. Since we all live together, I share their moments of joy, but also their sadness. Everything is not perfect, there are a lot of difficulties.

When I manage to capture a moment of joy, a slice of happiness that is just as perfect. - Marc PadeMarc Padeu All the light on me, 2021 Acrylic on canvas 78 3/4 x 133 1/8 in 200 x 338 cm4.
