when painting rhymes with painting
Welcome to my world
Ink in expression
All painting techniques are interesting, but I have a preference for color inks, I like their transparency, colors and difficulty of execution. That is my true expression. They allow me to give free rein to my imagination, guided by my second passion, music (classical, jazz, films, variety ...), which accompanies each of my creations.
My approach: from a task, create a universe, a story, invent a world between dream and reality. My sources of inspiration are often nature and animals for which I have great affection. The important thing for me is not to reproduce but to create.
Explanation of the technique
Initially a spot, spots, the color is chosen according to the mood as well as the accompanying music. I let the ink express itself, I work it until I get an atmosphere, I create from there, I invent a world of my own.
Listening to "The Firebird" by Igor Stravinsky, I wanted orange, red, the colors mix, I add a dash of payne gray. A country shaken and tormented appears, I see a destructive fire. I suddenly thought of Australian black kites pyromaniac and the painting was born.
