Allégorie du Dieu Khnoum, à partir d'une de mes photos de la sculpture, prise au Musée de Grenoble lors de l'exposition thématique égyptienne.

Poursuite de la réappropriation du médium "à l'ancienne" : plume à dessin et encre de Chine.

A propos du dieu Khnoum
« Maître de l'eau fraîche », dieu des cataractes à tête de bélier et puissance créatrice dans la mythologie égyptienne. Il contrôlait la crue du Nil. L'apparition de Sirius et de la constellation du Grand Chien dans le ciel annonce chaque année la venue de la crue.
Khnoum est le créateur de l'enveloppe corporelle des êtres vivants qu'il forme sur son tour de potier avec le limon du Nil.
Le tour de potier et son mouvement de rotation évoque à la fois les grands cycles de l'année : crues du Nil, passage des saisons… et de l'existence humaine : naissance, vie mort, renaissance… C'est le mouvement originel de ce tour qui crée la vie.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.

Karolus

France

Karolus, whose name is Carlos C., is a multidisciplinary artist whose passion for the arts is inseparable from his life. A designer, pastel painter and photographer, he finds in artistic expression fertile[...]

Karolus' sources of inspiration are varied, but nature plays a particularly important role in his work. However, it is not limited to a single theme or technique. On the contrary, he constantly explores new artistic horizons, experimenting with different techniques and mediums to enrich his creative approach.

His artistic approach is deeply rooted in the celebration of life in all its forms. Whether by capturing the birth of light in the heart of shadow, paying homage to the diversity of materials or expressing energy through the gestures of artistic creation, his work aims above all to celebrate beauty and the vitality of life.

Karolus regularly shares his art with the public, whether within artistic associations or through individual exhibitions. He is an active member of the Pastel en Dauphiné Association, where he runs thematic workshops and courses. In addition, he is currently in charge of external communication and maintenance of the association's website (pastelendauphine.com). His artistic work is also recognized, since it is registered with the Maison des Artistes and listed as DROUOT, a mark of distinction in the world of art.
