I was always attracted by the world of the imagery in general, photography, computer graphics.....
I am an autodidact, I started to draw after having discovered the Japanese comic strip, the manga, like the American comic style has me much influenced during several years.
But I moved towards studies of technical drawing and the computer graphics wich, professionally, brought more insurance to me very continuously my passion like leisure, nothing will replace the traditional drawing.
With the passing of years my influences and my inspirations moved by meetings and voyages, the music, the cinema, tattooing, and well of other subjects still.
I discovered the portrait and the realistic drawing in 2005, I wanted to offer a gift special, I thus drew a portrait of Marilyn Monroe. I enormously appreciated the fastidious and meticulous work which request a portrait, a style which charmed my perfectionist side.
I like to draw the human nature, of the scenes of lives, of the emotions, to work the lights on a body, to play with the shades.
I have a preference for the black and white, I work primarily with graphite and pencil, technique a little long but with which I am at ease and which enables me to carry out what I wish, I in the future hope to be formed on other materials to make evolve my work.
My desire and my motivation to continue my passion are increasingly strong, like my insurance. I think of having to find a style which is appropriate to me to be allowed to carry out exposures of my work.
