A new cultural event is coming to Sainte-Bazeille, from Thursday November 21 to Sunday November 24, in the village hall. Indeed, “The Arts Event” will be offered this year in the town by the association Les Amis des Arts de Castres, Occitanie et Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It will be sponsored by Casimir Ferrer, a 78-year-old artist from Tarn, present at the opening.
This former firefighter who became a professional painter-sculptor, with a national and international career, is the inventor of concretism. He had the idea of combining sculpture and painting, thus creating a new mixed art; his works emit movement, force, light and colors. He has already created 2,300 paintings and 600 sculptures. It therefore supports the artists, painters, sculptors, who will exhibit during the four days.

My favorite artistic tool is watercolor. It is a fragile and delicate way of writing. I found similarities there with the children’s world. We learn patience, concentration, observation, listening and mastery of time because the light changes very quickly. » Finally, at 6 p.m., the public prize will take place and a painting will be offered for the raffle.
