"The human being needs writers, musicians, poets, painters, sculptors, bakers and scientists ".CONCLUSION
As soon as I came into G. BAIBAY’s house, I felt I was in another universe. I was pleasantly surprised. I felt good. His works are alive, they move. For me, this artist is really sincere and he has his own style. His paints about what he loves, whether il be his garden, nudes or something else; he lives through his works.
As far as art is concerned, he wants to remain free of choices. This implies a real concern for independence, which sometimes leads to trouble with the local authorities, for instance.
