Faces of FrancisAN ODE TO INSPIRATION AND CREATIVITY What is the artist thinking about in his studio? He thinks back to this volcanic island, somewhere in the Mediterranean.

Inspiration is a journey between memories and desires in the present. NOTES TOP: ALDEHYDES, SAFFRON MIDDLE: TOASTED PISTACHIO,
