Description
Representation of an Acanthus leaf in watercolor on 300 g Lana paper.
Illustration of the metamorphosis of the nymph Acanthus.
In Greek mythology, Acanthus (from the ancient Greek κανθα, “thorn") is a nymph. Desired by Apollo (god of the Sun), who tries to kidnap her, she scratches his face. To take revenge, the god metamorphoses it into a thorny plant that loves the sun, and which has since borne its name: the acanthus.
Presentation
- Plastic artist
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.
