Jump of the Star Dancer28 viewsThis was the original drawing that I made in the beginning of year 2005. Here we can see the calligraphy in black lines superimposed on the Charcoal drawing. It indicates the way the artist is sometimes proceeding in his most elaborated elaborated work going from a sketch on a piece of paper, its reproduction in charcoal on the support, the Callygraphy. In this example the background was not considered as important !

37 viewsPortrait of a young girl with long black hairs. Here the calligraphy is made of fast stokes of a scalpel clearly visible on the left of the figure.
The figure is extracted from a bachground of green colour which is quite surprising for the description of skin
The support in laminated plaque of fibers covered by plastic.
This is not a new version but just the result of photography with a different lighting equipment
A philosophic statement can be made about the way the eye and brain works in the analysis of pieces of Art (to be discussed later).

Portrait of a young woman26 viewsThis picture suggested to the artist the portrait of a colleague who did not wanted to be portrayed with a trunk !
Therefore the name of this woman was not disclosed at least at the time of writing.
Multiple reasons can explain the big red dot frequently used by the painter.

Femina Red 200623 viewsThis is a step to work on a very difficult background produced by a thick layer of industrial paste used to fill the holes before the application of common painting.
This form has to be drawn in this paste which is later followed by the calligraphic drawing. the background remains so irregular that there is a fight against this material. this is difficult because the calligraphy implies a stict drawing of lines. Any mistake is difficult to correct and to eliminate !

Technique of Calligraphy33 viewsIf you click twice on this detail of one of the FCP you will understand better the technique used in this series of small fast paintings.
The support background is masonite uniformly covered by matt White Acrylic. The calligraphic background is made with a rough brush and acrylic. When the acrylic background has dried the painting is enhanced by glossy lines in Black and Red having generally the same movement. The resulting effect which is obvious on the painting is not so obvious on the website gallery !
The contrast between the matt background and the glossy calligraphy is frequent in my paintings

Husband and wife60 viewsHusband and wife are linked by a legal act. However, after a time which is highly variable from couple to couple the link between the two partner is getting less strong than during the initial period after wedding.
This unsatisfactory situation may lead to the rupture of the link, each one trying to build a new life with a different partner. Sometimes thats work !
At least for a while, but the same situation may occur again; I think that this is rather sad. I am fortunate to have the same wife after several decades...

Raisonning46 viewsThis is the phase of intense concentration during 3 days when I was working each day with only a piece of paper and a pencil from 8:00 to 11:00 PM. The last day at 10:30 PM, I was almost convinced that the probem was solved. It took me a few more days to confirm that my reasoning was correct ! The red calligraphy on the brain can represent the work of this structure investigated by dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging !

Flower or Aquatic Bird64 viewsAt the beginning this painting started as the calligraphy of a Flower. However, the curves which are closer to the lower part became interestingly inducing other curved lines which finally suggested a bird in water such as a kind of duck. This impression was increased by adding the evocation of a piece of water around the aquatic bird. Therefore, the result is in between these two concepts. You have to choose which one you prefer or you can like both or none of them...

Statue of the Commander35 viewsThis is the new corrected version of the Statue of the Commander made during May and June 2007
The face has been totally changed to make it closer to the Don Juan Story. The statue is close to a ghost with a long white blouse. The eyes and the mouth (the statue has to speak to Don Juan) looks more threatening.
The basic Calligraphy has been retained. The signification of the red dot is only now obvious to me. The explanation will be presented in detail in the "In Depth" tag.

The Infante looking at the city of Certaldo25 viewsThis is the latest version of this painting that I love a lot. Look at the white line which is now bordering the back of the Infante. This was already present in the previous version but now this line has been extended and increases the body from the background by the way producing a new unexpected calligraphy. However, I will work more on that when I will have a giclee of this painting.

Bringing to the people of this World49 views"Bringing to the people of this World" has been painted in a phase of unexpected exaltation when the central calligraphy was finished. on the white background. Then the idea came that the callygraphy represented my contribution to the world of painting without thinking of what will follow over the years. Therefore I am now obliged to think that this painting was a premonition of my future. It was then totally forgotten and stored in the cellar with all the other paintings. I took me some time when rediscovered to remember the history of this work; I am now very interested by the drawings around the central representation of Earth...
