Art, in all its forms, is for me the best way to convey a message or an emotion. And in traditional black ink drawing, I’ve found the perfect way to convey my emotions is by playing with shapes and symbols, and by drawing on the imagery that surrounds me, such as cinema, comics, horror, tattooing, video games and much more.

I want to create a composition that evokes the sense of rebuilding oneself, despite wounds and sadness, and thus being able to move forward.

In this workshop, I’ll teach you how I draw on one of my emotions, thoughts or even fears, and transform it into an illustration, enabling me to confront it.

I’m going to take you through the different stages that I go through, starting with the very first idea, the sketches, research, composition, shading, the final realisation and even the way I stage my drawings to take pictures of them. I’ll also go into detail about some of my techniques, as well as the material I use to compose my works.

GOLDEN TOUCH

When making a drawing by hand, I work exclusively in ink, sometimes with a few touches of gold. I really like conveying emotions and messages through the symbolism of what I represent, as well as the composition and combinations that I give them, rather than through colour. I use gold ink to highlight certain details of my drawings and this bring a precious dimension to the whole.
