In 1996 I took a trip to Jordan with my aunt. We travelled across it from North to South, from the capital, Aman, to the port of Aqaba on the Red Sea.
Passionate about the different civilizations that have inhabited the area, I was able to discover the Nabataean remains, the people who created the site of Petra, those of the Romans in Aman and other places.
For my watercolors, I wanted to paint different characters I had met: soldiers, camel drivers, flute players, etc... I made them from my own photos.
In the middle of the desert, what a surprise to find a hammam! Of course, there was no water during our visit, but the architecture of the place enchanted us. Pastel hues perfectly captured the atmosphere of the landscape. Come stroll with me through this desert.
