This sketch of Ben our favorite model at the studio is my favorite and best work in chinese brush painting and I regret selling it even though it was for a charity auction. I was at my peak of artistry and dexterity in that art and have never equaled this piece.
Ben could contort like this (he is resting on his head side way!) for long minutes without moving or complaining! a master model worthy of Leonardo!
I was born and raised in France. I grew up in a family of artists and my grandma put us all to crayons early-on. I attended the "Ecole d'art de Luminy, France, (a fine art program), and George Brown College's Graphic design program, in Toronto, where I graduated with 3 awards and honours and Applied Art magazine award. I attended the City Sculpture School and Studio (C.S.S.S.) where I did life drawing practice with a group of other artists. My work has been shown in a few Galleries.
I then worked with Chinese/Japanese brush technique and tried to find synthesis between my roots and this amazing art form. I love the contrasts between cultures, and try to express that.
My Art is constantly evolving. Though Chinese brush techniques are still a big part of what I do, it is mixed with a new personal approach, very much influenced by Russian folk art and Inuit and Haida art, Klee, and Picasso's potteries and my own personal spiritual growth. A strange mix I guess, but I am on that road and obsessed with it and I think somehow it's right because I have fun.
