"Tokyo Flowers" artwork by Michel Comte.

Michel Comte has been exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide, worked for all the major international magazines and put his stamp on numerous international advertising campaigns.

For over 30 years, he created iconic advertising, fielding commissions from labels like Armani, Ungaro, Ferrari, Dolce & Gabbana, Nike, as well as assignments from Vogue, Vanity Fair and all the major publications. In later years, he trained his lens on travel photography and evocative landscapes of his beloved Engadin, as well as war reportage, taking on photo assignments for the International Red Cross as well as his own Water Foundation in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Sudan and Cambodia.

The work, a pigment print on canvas, was taken on 16 September 2016 and was exhibited at Comte Media Studio.

The dimensions of the print are 70 x 49 cm.

The Cause

Since 2003, the Veronesi foundation has been pursuing a single objective: promoting the progress of science, health resources and ethical growth—civilly and in society.

"Science must always work for and with the human being,” declared the founder, Umberto Veronesi, “this means respect of the person, research for solutions and strategies that can improve the quality of life, offering new hopes for the present and for the generations in the future”.

At the core of the foundation there is barrier-free and scientific research that invests in young talent from each country, working toward answers to new questions using innovative and high-profile research programs dedicated to the prevention and diagnosis of tumors, cardiovascular disease and neuroscience, and the discovery of cure strategies that are efficient and beneficial to the entire community.

Unique in its genesis, the foundation has pushed its own interests outside the walls of a laboratory, encouraging social involvement and education in science. The Veronesi Foundation is also active with its devotion to science so that the results from science become available to everybody. Particularly, the foundation spreads the principles of prevention and correct lifestyle to keep disease away, even the most serious diseases that we can avoid just by changing our behavior.
