Thank you to dear friend and collector Pascal who shared the following insight into my art out of the blue with me over a warm electronic mail (yes, it is paradoxical but possible!)

 

“I have noticed over the last few months the apparition in your drawings and photos, a certain emphasis for details, very accurate details, like the vulture in your wood painting with the virgin. It reminded me of the extreme abundant etching you were doing at the beginning about legend and tales.

 

What I have also noticed is in your tiny little girlish character, the apparition of sculpting, lots around the arms but also a change from the formulaic pose to much more subtle realistic postures, very human, as in emotionally loaded.

So all in all, what I picked up upon is a more personal journey, where little bits of your deep personal life come through and seep through into mature sensitive details. I like it because the chism between the little figurine and the animals, objects… is working towards a reconciliation where  your hyperrealism takes a touch of deeply personal emotional expression.”

 

Pascal and I met when he commissioned a photographic piece for his bedroom almost six  years ago. We have since then become close friends. See the piece he collected here!

Thank you Pascal!
