Sona Ananian (2019) Painting by Grégoire Koboyan (Cricorps)

Cricorps, vétéran self-taught painter.
After 40 years of more or less figurative paintings, the year 2017 marks my debut in abstraction.
Painting for me is a way of discovering oneself in the mirror of past, present and future.
Painting is a passion that comes from the heart, the body and the mind in all completeness
As an initiatory journey, as a missionary my greatest wish would be to convey messages, and emotions, by awakening the imagination.
I paint and draw as an amateur since 1977, outside, in the nature or in my motorhome, and whatever the place!
Also live models have posed and we always collaborate together when it is necessary. To sketch on the spot, keep the essenciel.
Because it seems to me very interesting to voluntarily impose constraints, by the time, the duration with the models or during the
competitions or live painting contests in nature.
All these difficulties and challenges increase the challenge and add experience.
Currently retired, I work inside the house in a room workshop I start my project by following an idea that seems to me
emotionally important, then transcribed directly on a support (paper, wood panel, computer or canvas).
