Cette œuvre n'est pas une de mes conceptions. Je la présente pour son côté technique. Il s'agit en fait d'une reproduction que j'avais réalisé à la demande d'une amie. Je crois que la photo qu'elle m'avait donné en modèle faisait moins de 5 cm de côté !

Elle est dessinée au pastel sec sur papier à dessin, travaillée au coton et au coton-tige pour les fondus de couleur, avec de nombreux cache afin de délimiter les diverses zones à impacter et protéger les autres. Pour les surfaces ombrées, je ne conseillerais pas ma technique, ayant utiliser le pastel sec dilué à l'eau : c'est une aberration car il est particulièrement hydrophobe et il faut alors se battre avec le pinceau pour que la couche se dépose. Et tout doit ensuite être rapidement fixé.

J'ai appelée ma réalisation "Nature", mais n'ai aucune idée du nom de l’œuvre originale.

- For those who wish to discover oil painting, I open a workshop during the lunch break, once a week, on the sidelines of school lessons.

When a drawing teacher makes such a proposal and you are already motivated by the artistic thing, there is no hesitation. Christian responded to the opportunity and discovered the smoothness and reactivity of the material, its sensuality too: pleasure. This happened in 1974, at the age of fourteen. And quickly, gouache, pencil or pastels were practically forgotten.

A few years later, a solid technique had already asserted itself, through, most often, work inspired by photographic favorites. Christian will notably have the freedom to produce color paintings, from black and white photos.

His works still lacked a certain essence, that of conceptual elaboration, which will appear in the 1980s and will continue thereafter. This indefinable work, probably invisible, which allows an idea to mature for six months to progress, improve, or even vanish. Christian has an expression for this: 'cinema on canvas', because like the seventh art, he creates a real scenario of his work before using his brushes. There is no doubt that many of these ideas come from her passion for travel, such a passion that she stopped her production for a while. Prize-winning exhibitions have awarded Christian six times.

Christian is a multiple artist, in the sense that he is master of the freedom of his ideas; thus his subjects are diversity. If he is comfortable with his time, he does not lock himself in his fashions. And to extend the notion of multiplicity, he is also a photographer and writer-traveler. Open to the surprise of the future, he will gladly tell you that he is not yet... a sculptor.

"Art is an adventure; it continues, for a long time…"
