Well, folks, today I did not finish yet my painting (I'm working, I'm working...) so I post a self-portrait where me and my old friend Cézanne have collaborated...
Nu chiar la cercul Polar... si nu uita global warming! Da, mai ales ca azi am terminat de citit viatza lui Dostoïewski de Henry Troyat, si el un pic de rusnac pe la origine... Mersi de vizita...
I was born with another name...not worse than any other, only more difficult to pronounce... So, when, in April 2002, I've become a full time visual artist, I've chose to re-name myself as Ion Vincent Danu. Ion, that's my middle name, my father's name also... short, not bad (since GM "Saturn" chose it too...), Vincent is an homage to Vincent Van Gogh and DANU because, apart from being my nickname (some of my family used to call me that, it's a diminutive for "Dan") but also it's a kind of YANG-YIN thing, it means, in Romanian, YES-NO. And it sounds good, I think... Japanese painters
did rename themselves each time they thought they entered a new creative phase... not a bad thing to do.

Artistul la Cercul Polar ! Un act de curaj, o sfidare a convenientzelor si, nu in ultimul rind, un tribut(cred eu)adus marii cinematografii rusesti.
Succes, prietene !
