A word about my career and my work
Since I left the Beaux-Arts in 2011, I have been drawing. I like to use all kinds of mediums: sketch, watercolor, linocut, model... with architecture, whatever it may be, as a common denominator. From the most prestigious building to the simple suburban pavilion, everything interests me. I like to know that this subject is inexhaustible, constantly changing and that it is impossible to make an inventory of it.
I venture and get lost in the architectures I reproduce. Challenged by a city, a movement, an architect or a simple monument, I delimit a research area and then apply myself almost obsessively, to exhaust the subject.
The American Houses series is both a tribute to some American houses and a highlight of their similarities. Made like portraits, the linocuts try to make these buildings, which seem uninhabited, converse.
