“Traditional painting and digital brushwork”

​

Everyday life

I like to observe the scenes and objects of everyday life. It’s one of my sources of inspiration.

A shadow, a shine, a shape, a particular scene. The desire to paint is there.

Sometimes elements of my personal life appear in my work as a painter. I hope that you will find in my paintings a support that transports you and allows you to travel into your own universe of personal reflections.

 

My paintings are not photos. Looking closer, my brushstrokes are clearly present. I paint in the traditional way with a digital brush on a graphics tablet.

 

Bio

Since my training at the Besançon School of Fine Arts (1984-1989) oil and acrylic painting were my favorite mediums. In 2016 the digital brush was invited into my workshop. On this occasion I also discovered the use of my fingers by rubbing them directly on my graphics tablet.

The digital brush offers great freedom, it goes very well with my personal approach. It offers me spontaneity, great precision and a joy for details.

My painting is evolving. In recent years I have acquired a certain technique which contributes to the successful completion of my creations. Day by day, I improve myself again and again...

 

Painting: a pleasure, a need       Exhibit: share, tell, express

Pigment inkjet print

Once finished, my paintings are printed* on different papers, my favorite is the "Fine-Art" paper used by Art printing specialists with high quality pigment inks guaranteeing better color rendition and very good resistance over time.

*Limited series, numbered and signed.
