A custom project for a Silk Scarf. The briefing told me that the honored woman who would receive the scarf as a present was an Africa fun and a Ballet dancer.

I mixed then her 2 passions in one, drawing the African dancers in Ballet poses. Surprisingly, most of the public who show my samples thought that they were proper African women making African dance (what It wasn't actually). Client was happy and it seems the woman in question too.

Interiors

I love to sketch, draw or paint interiors from houses that I know. These are some samples of them, from different friend's houses and even from my own house. I also work on commissions if you want to portrait a favourite space or "petit coin" of your own home, talk to me, see details in Contact ;)

This is a Book that I made myself. Based on the portraits of some interiors from my friend houses in Buenos Aires, Argentina when I was visiting back in 2015. It has also other interiors and details that i finally added. I am very fond of these texts and images. I wrote it in French, which I feel like a second language that I often use. I should translate it in English though… Watercolours, INk. 2018

I made this postcards long time ago and I still like it. It was part of a collection that came from portraits of old Kitchenalia, vintage and retro pieces. The idea of Supercalifragilistea was copied, but as always happens, not too known artist are more ripped than famous ones… I felt bad, but you always have to go on and make something better.
