Description
Creation of my work in graphite and dry pastel. I like to transcribe the smallest detail so that the person looking at it thinks it’s a photo. I like to rediscover people who have left their mark on us and whom we tend to forget over time. I was inspired by the book Les Ambiteuses by Virginie Girod
