Heliades
Watercolor of a black alder branch on VPC Handmade vintage paper 400g, representing the metamorphosis of the Heliades in the form of a black alder branch
In Greek mythology, the Heliades (Ancient Greek: Ἡλιάδες / , "children of the sun"), daughters of Helios and Clymene, are the sisters of Phaethon. When he died, they were inconsolable, weeping for him incessantly, so much so that their tears solidified into amber and they themselves turned into poplars or alders.

Vetted Seller
More than twenty years ago now, an artist friend during a walk cut a branch of forsythia attacked by galls from a hedge, telling me that it could be a good subject to paint.
So I took out my brushes and my school paints and reproduced the branch quite clumsily. But the virus took hold, pushing me to paint and progress. My scientific training and observational drawing help me a little for line, time and practice for color.
For ten years, I have accepted the idea of showing my work which revolves mainly around botany, zoology with often a suggested or even suggestive double reading.
I have a personal museum of curiosities which serves as a database for the production of my images.
I mainly use watercolor as a medium but also the repurposing of engravings, objects and photography.
