Jérôme Kalouta, an artist in Greece, stated he feels ashamed he has never traveled to the Congo, the country where his father now lives.
Kalouta revealed his father came to Greece to study engineering at the Air Force Academy and later started a second family there. Despite maintaining contact, Kalouta has not met his father’s other family members and they have never shared a meal together.
Kalouta also discussed his mother, who passed away last year, describing her as a major influence in his life and a continuing source of strength. He explained his mother arrived in Greece in 1976 as a nanny and met his father. He credits her with teaching him valuable life lessons.
The artist also reflected on the challenges he faced in his career and the need to take on other jobs to support himself, but he affirmed his love for his work prevented him from giving it up. Kalouta expressed his belief that death is not necessarily the end of existence and feels his mother remains close to him.
