I have started my professional career as a geologist. Though it might seems not related to my current drawer job drawer, the purpose of these both jobs is to analyse nature and to transcribe its beauty. My engineering curriculum allowed me to study the sources of raw materials and what are the mineral, animal and vegetal species evolutions through ages. I became conscious of the various threats on the earth living species, that is why I wanted to give my job a purpose. I mostly drew endangered species and I give a percentage of my benefits to fauna and flora protection associations.

Exposition

 

For this 2023 festival edition, i present a collection of animal drawings with hidden animals. The idea is to present an immersive and playfull exhibition : the spectator is invited to search and find 20 tiny animals within each drawing. The whole exhibition only present endangered species drawn with indian ink on hand made paper. The second part of the exhibition is a french landscapes collection where ink intereacts with the paper.
