Renaître (2018) Drawing by Christine Mergnat

I was born with a pencil in my hand and this passion for drawing accompanies me on my journey with a particular fascination for portraits and looks.
The starting point is generally a photo, either personal , either royalty-free, or from friends or photographers who authorized me to draw inspiration from it; the main thing being that my emotion felt through photography can be transcribed as accurately and as intensely as possible in my work.
I have evolved since the beginning of 2018 towards much more personal creations while remaining in a universe imbued with poetry and imagination.
Since January 2010, I have regularly led workshops, either within artistic associations or at home and it is always with great passion and joy that I pass on my know-how.
On June 14, 2014, in Paris, the Academic Society of Arts – Sciences and Letters awarded me the silver medal diploma for my entire artistic and I was deeply touched and honored.
Finally, I am a regular contributor to the magazines “Plaisir de P Peinture” and “Practice des Arts” for whom I create “step by step” sketches. on different subjects interpreted with dry pastels (to date, more than thirty publications).
