 My work:
Renouveau-Scriptura is how I call my work, calligraphy inspired from ancient gothic times in which I revive Latin alphabets in texts written with a square nib and Indian ink.
The themes chosen in my work are mostly historical, they represent the cultures of the world through a variety of languages (Latin, English, French, Portuguese…).
My background:
Trained as a graphic designer, I started my career in 1982. I worked as a designer in print-shops for many years before enrolling on a course of art history. I then worked as an illustrator in various newspapers and finally turned to fine arts, creating works in Ink, Ecoline and gouache on paper.
My passion for history and typography naturally led me to calligraphy.
Calligraphy requires tremendous precision and a constant inspiration in the execution of the strokes which are both instantaneous and unalterable.
