Free of all expectations or prejudices, the artist delivers samples of his recent drawings (2018-2020).
Armed with simple tools and his experience, he faces alone the model, dazzled by human beauty.
The drawings are taken on the spot with only one restriction: a time of pose which does not exceed 5 minutes.
The instinctive, supple or nervous strokes are the simple expression of pleasure.
The pen loaded with ink criss-crosses the paper.
The ink captured by the fresh watercolour creates nuances, volumes and shapes.
It is impossible to control the action.
The outcome is therefore pure chance... but, as we say in French, chance makes things right.
Secret Diary
Free of all expectations or prejudices, the artist delivers samples of drawings from his private notebooks. (2020-2022)
Armed with simple tools and his experience, he is alone in front of the model, dazzled by human beauty.
These drawings are taken on the spot during private one-on-one poses with the artist.
The models, often his women friends, are perfectly at ease and abandon themselves to "intimate" poses that are difficult to reproduce in public workshops.
The instinctive, supple or nervous strokes are the simple expression of pleasure. The pen loaded with ink criss-crosses the paper. The ink captured by the fresh watercolour creates nuances, volumes and shapes.
These trembling traces confide in us the emotion of these moments and the large patches of brown shadows suggest the elusive atmosphere.
These sketches are the fruit of intimate confessions between the artist and his model, the result of silent but profound dialogue between two deeply connected beings. The energy that emerges from these encounters is beneficial to both parties and remains forever engraved in the memory of the privileged ones who lived these experiences.
