STEPS
If you want me
to create your portrait or that of a loved one, here are
the steps to follow:
1- Send me (by letter or
e-mail)
- Several photographs (digital or scanned) of the person,
preferably of a reasonable size. FOR A SCULPTURE, several
photographs taken from different points of view (profile,
front, from a angle at 45 ° from above, etc).
- the name of one or more of my paintings (that you can
select in my gallery) and which I will use
as a reference in order to know which style you prefer.
2- I’ll answer you by mail : I confirm the dates and send
you the form by which you can send me 30% of the
total price (you can pay by paypal,
its easy and safe).
3- Between 5 and 10 days
later (we’ll have already established this) , I will send
you back (by e-mail)
- a photo of the painting finished (or of the sculpture).
4- If you agree with this proposal, you will send me the
remaining 70% of the price (if you don't like the proposal,
I will refund your original 30%
payment).
You'll
receive your painting
or
sculpture once it dries, around two weeks after your
acceptance of the proposal. That means, in all, less
than three weeks (don't hesitate to specify the urgency
of a gift).
If the painting or sculpture doesn’t satisfy you, you can
send it back to me (within two weeks and at your expense)
and I will refund your payment (by paypal or bank
transfer).
As you certainly know, an artist keeps copyrights of his
own work. However, you can specify if you prefer that your
portrait doesn't appear in my website.

Since the
beginning of time, humans seek the reflection of their
soul. A mirror is not enough. Image can't avoid remaining
on the surface. You don't need anymore to go to
Montmartre in Paris to get a portrait!
A photo may go
beyond the surface of the body: it can find the gesture
that reveals a trait of somebody's inner character.
But photography does not escape the dimension of time. It
remains prisoner of the
instant.
Throughout my
artistic career as a painter and photographer, I have
centered my research on fighting against the ephemerality
of existence. How can I give life to an instant that
photography can record? I start out with an image,
sometimes simple, and then build up different layers of
matter on the canvas, giving body to the image and
engendering an object that will necessarily contain clues
that can help us reveal the nature of a
person.
In
painting words seem kind of nebulous; I invite you
then to look at my work.
