My approach to drawing is intuitive. Using lines or circles, or by saturating surfaces, I wish to create a space in which full and empty forms meet. I do not seek to represent objects or a particular material.
Using fine lines, drawn with ink or grey pencil, I would like to capture the viewer to plunge him or her into contemplating an A4 or large format.
First of all, the grey pencil: the different tones of this technique, dry and bold, push me to explore all its facets. The geometrical or organic shapes delimiting the textures thereby created stem from my observations of nature or architecture.
Next, my ink works pursue my initial pencil-based explorations. I use simple elements, which are repeated to interlace diverse forms until an organic material emerges. Variations of blues blend to form a relief. The resulting forms are maps of imaginary islands.
Finally, the line drawings in black ink explore the fragility of simple gestures, repeated until they form a basic outline or screen.

Mon approche du dessin est intuitive. Au moyen d’un trait, d’un cercle ou encore en saturant une surface, je désire créer un espace où se côtoient des formes pleines et vides. Je ne cherche pas à représenter des objets ou une matière particulière.
Par la finesse du trait, à l’encre ou au crayon gris, j’aimerais happer le spectateur pour le plonger dans la contemplation d’un A4 ou d’un grand format.
En premier lieu, le crayon gris: les différents tons de cette technique, secs et gras, me poussent à en explorer toutes les facettes. Les formes géométriques ou organiques qui délimitent les textures que je crée proviennent de mon observation de la nature ou de l’architecture.
Ensuite, mes travaux à l’encre sont dans la continuité de ces recherches. J’utilise un élément simple répété dans le but de constituer un entrelac de formes jusqu’à atteindre une matière organique. Les variations de bleu se mélangent pour former un relief. A mes yeux, il s’agit de cartographies d’îles imaginaires.
Enfin, les dessins au trait à l’encre noire sont une recherche autour de la fragilité d’un geste simple, répété jusqu’à former une trame.
