Parts
If there’s one subject I’ll never tire of, it’s anatomy. I mean muscle and bone anatomy essentially. My training at school made me discover what shapes the things I see, it pushed me to understand before drawing, and through this, I’ve come to love the structures of the body.
With this series, I want to pay homage to animal body parts. I’m interested in the function behind the form. I love to see the ear, the finger, the eye, the beak, the hair… I love to see these forms forged by time and evolution. I discover and learn through this series, while sharing what I like to see. I freely explore the details of anatomy, often in ink, sometimes enhanced with watercolor.
Thank you for your time!
Hands
Series of Ink and Watercolor Artworks
Animal paws are a pet peeve of mine.
I love hands in general. I love working with the structures of fingers, phalanges and small muscles, organized to give life to this incredible tool. Hands say a lot about class, diet and place, a wealth of information hidden within a form that I like to explore and show.
Gibbon Hand
Ink on paper
Everything in length, right down to the format. For me, the gibbon’s hand is a delicacy. The first in the series, which, as is often the case, motivated the rest.
Lemur Hand
Ink and Watercolor on 300g. Hahnemühle paper.
I took the liberty of using my own colors. The little ends of the Lemur’s hand are funny and deserved a little homage.
Squirrel Hand
69 x 24 x 0.3 cm
Ink on Cardboard
It was the special anatomy of the squirrel’s hand that prompted me to make this drawing. What I didn’t know was that there are no thumbs on its front paws, which are essentially for climbing and scratching.
Koala Hand
Ink on Cardboard
Here, too… This special anatomy prompted me to mention it: 2 Inches alone, to enable this ball of fur that is the Koala, to cling to branches that they sometimes squat on for hours, tasting leaves to their heart’s content.
Sloth Hand
Ink on Cardboard
Another incongruous design, developed by nature for a very special function: hanging on for hours while moving slowly. The sloth’s hand is almost closer to a coat hanger than a forelimb.
Wings
Series of Ink and Watercolor Artworks
Ordered feathers with a repetitive structure.
I like to draw the taut lines of wings and feathers. Subtle hatching, elegant curves. The hypnotic fan of the wings is a subject I’m particularly fond of, touching on the abstract, so different is its final form from the forelimbs of other species. All this architecture to give life to the masterly function of flying.
Eurasian Wren Wing
35 x 46 x 0.1 cm
Ink and watercolor on 300gr. Hahnemühle Paper
A not-very-faithful graphic elucubration of a cute Wren’s wing. I let myself be carried away by the liveliness of the feathers, without looking for a documentary resemblance. The same goes for the colors… I’ll leave you to judge the result.
House Sparrow Wing
19 x 29 x 0.1 cm
Ink and watercolor on 300gr. Hahnemühle Paper
During the evolution of my “Birds Around” series, I made a breakaway to concentrate on a sparrow’s wing. I like to fill surfaces with lines and soft gradations. Feathers and wings in general are ideal subjects for this exercise.
