Driven by the urge to make, regardless of the format, scale, or materials available, his fantastical work became a symbolic reflection of his family and/or home-centered life. And after recent presentations in the US and Greece, we couldn't miss the opportunity to talk with him about the milestone Parisian debut that will be presented in two chapters at Julien Cadet gallery between March 13 and April 30th.

Albert did not take to academic life and often played truant from his bourgeois school in
