Il m'est plus difficile d'en parler que de travailler... Ma méthode... il me faut m'impregner du sujet, apercevoir, regarder, photographier. Y penser, rêver, imaginer... Y penser encore... Dessiner. Et oublier, pour y revenir, peut-être, quelque fois longtemps après quand le sujet a mûri dans ma tête.
Un croquis pour la composition. Encore l'angoisse de la toile blanche qui ne s'estompe que face à une palette bien garnie. A peine quelques traits de crayons sur la toile pour la mise en place. Quelques gouttes de midium, et je peux enfin jouer avec les couleurs, mon couteau à la main !
Je n'utilise que des spatules ou "couteaux". Ils me permettent un contact plus direct, plus physique, avec la matière. J'obtiens un meilleur rendu des reliefs, des contrastes, des effets de profondeur.
Le seul pinceau que je possède est le n°2 qui me sert à signer mes toiles.

It’s hard for me to speak about the way I paint, the way I create…. I need to be inspired by a scene. I spend a lot of time looking at it, taking pictures, dreaming about it, again and again. When I feel ready, I start drawing on paper.
The white canvas is still a stressing moment…I need to have my palette full of colours. And I start to paint directly on the canvas with my palette knifes.
I only use palette knifes. The only paintbrush I have is a thin n° 2 that I use to sign my work.
