In 2009, he created a collective of artists called Free Spirit. As an ART lover, he organized in 2010 his first photography exhibition in Paris in order to raise funds to support his mother’s non profit organization. 6 talented photographers accepted to be part of that beautiful project. For the first time, Fabrice built a bridge between the beauty of ART and a charity.
