A
text about my artwork. Sure! I studied
at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris,
and I continue to draw and produce
lithographs and etchings every day.
I’ll describe what happens when, a
brush in hand, with black ink and
water, I face a white page. I know all
about the famous story of the writer,
terrorized by the blank page. It’s not
that I don’t have an idea, but an
idea, a thought, is not enough to
start. To make it work, my hand, my
arm, my body all have to be involved;
I have to immerse myself totally into
the bath of my drawing. I have to be
awash in ink. And for that, I have to
believe in what I do, believe that
it’s true, that it will appear in
front of me—a visible presence, but
one that’s also physical, emotional,
authentic, alive, and which is far
beyond myself. So, overtaken by my
subject, by the motif, the goal, my
hand and spirit are one. I am nothing
more than a human being who paints, a
voice in a symphony, a great
symphony.. |
