Erik Pevernagie
“Through its creative power, art may trigger approximation, reconciliation and harmonization between individuals and peoples. Through art, beings can meet and exchange their points of view, as it rules out alienation, and arouses chemistry and understanding. By definition, art is universal and helps to cross borders and barriers without prejudice.”
Erik Pevernagie

Darnell Lamont Walker
“Undeniable chemistry and horrific timing. They love each other.”
Darnell Lamont Walker
