    The Sama Online Show 2009 is a success!

    Posted on Oct 31, 2009

    Thanks to all of you who watched my online show yesterday! We have sent many invitations (registered, regulars, on request, newcomers…) and almost everyone could make it and connected to the server. The live feed went fine and I appreciate the many questions you asked me. Most of them were very specific and made me realized there are some experts concerning my work. This online show was a great experience for me and I suppose it was for you too, from the many emails I received. In the coming days, the necklace that was shown during the show will be on sale on my Official Website and one of the artwork from the Sama in the Sky New Series will be published on The World of Sama Art Website; the artwork was the one most voted by you during the show. As for the necklace, it is a very limited edition… READ MORE




    Upcoming 2009 Show: Welcome to the Sama Zone!

    Posted on Oct 14, 2009

    I told you you would get information about my next show pretty soon and every reader of this Blog should have received an invitation for the event by now. So, as some of you already know, my upcoming show won’t take place anywhere, it will be an online show. This is not the first time I make a ‘virtual show’, I did it more than a decade ago and I know some you were already following me at this time (time is passing so quickly, isn’t it?). Fifteen years later, the technology has evolved and it won’t be an online show like it was the first times. The invitation already tells a lot: you will have to use a phone to see it. For my last show, some of you came from the United States, Australia, Norway, Spain and other countries just to see my one-night show in Paris. That was amazing… READ MORE




    Working on the new show and jewelry collection

    Posted on Sep 28, 2009

    September has been a very busy month for two main reasons: first because I am working on my next show and it is, as always, a lot of work. I will unveil several new works from 2 new series soon. The series are not complete yet so it will be very exclusive to the show since any of them will be publicly revealed before 2010. Second reason I have been very busy: I will launch a new collection of jewelry. It will be available after the show, the first to see the necklace pendants will be the ones attending the show. I know, it sounds unfair for the ones who can’t come to France but I can assure you this time it will be very different and that everyone will be treated equally But it is not all I am working on. It is yet too soon to tell you more… READ MORE




    The Chibi entered the Sama Zone yesterday in Paris

    Posted on Nov 3, 2007

    A quick post to thank everyone who came to see my exhibition on Friday. It is always exciting to show my work and share it with open minded and curious people. As some of you have noticed, I am not very comfortable with camera and interviews about myself, but I was keen to answer to all the questions you had about the World of Sama and my work. And some of you really asked me a lot! So I hope you had a great time during the show. This exhibition was the second ‘Private Event’, there will probably be a third one next year (not in an abandoned house in countryside, neither in a cozy apartment near the Eiffel Tower), I’m already thinking about a new unexpected place for the Sama Zone. And maybe it won’t be a private place anymore but a public one. I have some ideas. Most… READ MORE




    The Sama Zone is under heavy construction!

    Posted on Oct 31, 2007

    The Sama Zone’s got to be ready for Friday and it will, despite the fact the place looks more like a battlefield than a cozy apartment… I have a free hand about what I want to do and I’m taking full advantage of the emptiness of the place (no furniture, nothing in there!) to show my works on both design and clothes. Some of you were wondering (yeah, I have read all your comments on the exhibition announcement post) what the show will be about, here’s a hint for those who will attend: furniture for living room (dining table and sofa chair), accessories (lamp and vase) but also sculptures (middle size, no giant this time). All theses objects have never been shown before, and are unique pieces. Paintings will of course be part of the exhibition and the new Sama Collection (mostly t-shirts) will be available to buy (it won’t… READ MORE
