Description

My ‘Phantasmagorical Bestiary’ series is the result of a kind of ‘artistic serendipity’. Indeed, it is partly by chance while carrying out an activity of the everyday life that I realized that I could create very original drawings. If I remain voluntarily vague here it is in order to keep the technique, and the material I work with, secret. I would just say that it is a material that is not preservable and that consequently the materiality of the drawings is very ephemeral. I can also explain that my drawing technique is based on substraction of material, previously spread out on a smooth surface. To keep a digital trace of them, my drawings are therefore photographed just after their realization. But the creative process is far from over at this stage. The digital photograph of a drawing is then passed through no fewer than five different software programs to obtain the desired final image. The materiality of the work is restored after it is printed on photographic paper. The choice (voluntarily restricted) of the type of framing constitutes then the final touch in the process of creation.

Finally, is it drawing? Yes, but not only that. Is it digital creation? Yes, but not only that. Is it a drawing technique already known? Probably not. In short, it is an original mixed technique.

These creations could almost be categorized as abstract art. However, when I take the picture of the drawing, I do see something, often a rather animal form, hence the title of the series. But as the concept of these creations is to play with the phenomenon of pareidolia, I won’t tell you what I see. Therefore, the creations are only titled with a number that follows the chronological order of the creation of the drawing. Feel free to see what you want in these drawings. If you want to give meaning to these drawings, you are a co-creator yourself!
