This is the case of the painter Onie Jackson. This Orléanais got down to a fresco inspired by Diego Velázquez’s painting, The Meninas. “It is a representation of the royal family of Spain. This painting has been used a lot by painters. I did it a lot in canvas. So it’s a challenge for me to do it on a wall and adapt it to the street ”. The fresco will be inaugurated this Sunday, September 19, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. Rue d’Assas in Dijon.

The works therefore had an unexpected lifespan … since the principle is that the new frescoes are made on top of the old ones!
