To make this work I received from Serge's wife a synopsis about him and some pictures of their apartment.

The synopsis

Serge is going to be 47 years. He works in finance. Today he is treasurer of an investment group. He is an accountant by training and has always worked in finance. He really loves his job. What is ironic is that he is the opposite of the stereotype accountant! He is serious in his job, but has the head in the clouds. He is a dreamer. I often tell him he is in the moon (a little less since we know each other and that girls are there). He enjoys sports, especially tennis (younger he was very well ranked). He also likes swimming and make a cardio each week, abs ... Serge is a believer and very religious in spite being open minded. He hates leeks and fruits or vegetables to soft, the harder they are the better! He loves classical music and especially Beethoven, not to forget the Piano Concerto No. 2 by Rachmaninoff. It's a real romantic. He loves Steve McQueen, and his favorite movie: The Thomas Crown Affair (the original version). He love movies and has a great film culture. Orson Welles is one of his favorite directors.

The realization

I started out from an old radio in the living room with big ivory buttons and a monitor screen in almond green. Then on the two sides, I referred to four different themes. On the left, colors related to belief and religion on a black and white background. On the right, the colors of tennis and Roland Garros, orange, and dark green on a seventies background of blue, brown and caramel. The result did not yet satisfy me, but it was on the right track ...
I then substituted, the ivory and the almond green in the central part with three broad bands, black gold and blue, and removed the themes of religion and tennis to let the colors of the background become the main themes. On the left is was now black and white as the keys of a piano, and also as the smoking of a pianist, as a scene without color for the spirit to flourish in the music. To the right it became the Thomas Crown Affair and McQueen, who, behind his blue glasses tried to distray himself from his destiny. Gold, identical on both sides, as in a double-entry accounting, accounts at left as the intangible value of a concerto by Rachmaninov and at right as its opposite, the material value of a robbery.
