I am a french artist based in Paris but I am also painting for Japan every day and travelling around Japan every year for a month since 2011. I am touched by sense of detail in every thing or gesture. In May 2017, I started a new series, a link between my two worlds named Parigot (people born in Paris) Edokko (people born in Edo, Tokyo). This drawing is made on japanese papers folded, dyed, glued. On these layers of papers, I draw a shape. Then I fill with watercolour and collage. All small details are made by pencil or felt pen. These papers end up looking like a sewing pattern or even textiles. Over time I have come to realise that my stylistic development started with my maternal grandmother, a seamstress who made men's shirts, as well as from my paternal grandparents who sold fabrics at the market. Although my work is always rooted in good technique, I aim to create visual poetry in my pieces. For me, Art is about expressing feelings. Here is a jinbei. sometimes called "Hippari" is a traditional Japanese garment, originally for male, but worn today also by women. Originally considered as an indoor garment Jinbei has become very popular in summer by its very light and airy manufacturing to fight against the very high humidity of Japan. The Jinbei is also widely used during popular festivities, such as matsuri (festivals) or hanabi (fireworks). Generally made of linen and / or cotton, it consists of a "shorts" attached with a drawstring and a short-sleeved jacket (the sleeves are attached via linen thread and let in air). Although there are many variations, traditionally, Jinbei is more or less intense blue color. The jinbei is worn without belt.
