9B #6 Drawing

Live and works in Copenhagen. Born in 1968 in Paris, France. Moved to Denmark in 1997 In the crossover where architecture and botany interact. My education as an architect has given me a solid knowledge of composition, with a great spatial understanding and attention to detail. Botany is a big inspiration and feeds the imagery I create. My expression is based upon Concrete art and Minimalism, but over time has become increasingly more organic and figurative in its form. The works I create are drawings on paper with ink, pencil or oil. 

I am interested in the relationship between time and development, and this is what I reinterpret in my works. The evolutions that occur in nature, the human psyche, landscape and urban planning.

I find the best examples in nature: a seed that sprouts grows and becomes an entire, complex and fully developed organism – just as man’s inner core. It is the stages of this growth – the magic that something “will become” – that interests me.

I want to greet the viewer with intimate works, filled with details that take time to make, and take time to observe. The slowness is part of the attraction. Paule Ducourtial.
