The French artist Christophe Baron came to Damascus carrying 15 works of great artistic value, composed of old planks to organize his first exhibition in Damascus.

Baron depended on acrylic colors, pencils and ink to draw his different-mood characters.

In a statement to SANA on Sunday, the artist said his works reflected his literary background and interests, and from literary works of great writers like Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky and Sydney, he inspired many ideas into his works.

Arists Christophe added that during his current visit to Damascus he was briefed on the Syrian plastic art movement and met many Syrian artists.

This exhibition, which will last until the end of the month, is organized in collaboration with the Syrian Ministry of Culture, the Syrian Airlines,  the Art House Gallery and the French Cultural Center in Damascus.
