About me

Biography

"I have been making personal compositions and reproductions of paintings or photos in watercolor painting for 35 years. I crop and enlarge the reproductions in part, in the same spirit and according to my imagination. My artistic trends are oriented towards the surrealist, the imaginary, the impressionist and fauvism, the character, the landscape, urban planning and other subjects.

I create my works by combining different techniques: drawing and drawing. pen and Indian ink for tracing lightness of watercolor paint, or enhancement of shading by hatching for black or colored drawings-engravings. Coloring with watercolor pencils on 250-page paper supports. 300 grams /m2.

My formats do not exceed 40 cm x 55 cm for the surface of the image, with a white margin of 4 cm on the 4 sides of the image. The watercolors that I offer are reproductions made by scan. and inkjets on 300 grams/m2 watercolor paper. I keep the originals.

For a possible order, a lead time of 3 weeks is necessary. Each watercolor has a white margin allowing the installation of a mat and framing not included. I have around 367 works to choose from. layout, in color and black and white, dated and signed on the plate with title. "
