Portraits Series

Looking at my body of work over the decades, one notices an approach to the image akin to collage, where the symbolic dimension is sometimes obvious, sometimes undefined, and where the figure is often the central element. My drawings, for their part, question the notion of authentic and individual identity, confronted with a society dominated by the media, manipulated by artificial intelligence, and obsessed with maintaining a dominant presence on social networks. 

After several decades of creating photomontages using, I am distancing myself from digital technologies to return to more traditional image-making processes; the medium of colored pencil on paper allows me to reconnect with this practice. The final result therefore uses no technical means to reproduce the original image, and I do not employ collage or mixed media. 

There is also no specific symbolic interpretation, and each viewer is free to interpret the work in their own way, freely interpreting its constituent elements.
