These flashs come from true paintings worked on "elephant" paper. the mix between acquarelle and acrylic enable to obtain several levels of contrasts added to the background's texture that i make following my will, this reminds the atmopshere of ancient necromancians engravings wich is perfect to illustrate my work on skulls. This is the logical following of my fascination for Edgar Poe and Robert Howard's universes: a mix of stories and esotericism. Symbolism is a fundamentale base of my graphical research in paintaing and in tattoo; it's full influence is expressed through my drawings. The skull represents the physical shape: the anatomical stucture; the eye represents the spiritual shape. The red color comes back in those paintings as a leit motive: vital fluid, waves, flames, drippings.The red wich at the same time fascinates and repulses is a pigment that i love to use on canvas and on skins contrasting with ochre and golden colors, it underlines the alchemycal side of these works. To stimulate my creativity subjects must be discussed without compromise by cristalising one idea, one personality, one message, one vision!
This a guarentee of truth, a pact of blood. This genuine exchange between to people during a tattoo is precious and gives all the meaning to my vocation.
