I am doing it in the most organic way possible. 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). I was searching for something really French instead of kimono. Marinière is one of perfect symbol of France, isn't ? This drawing is made on french old papers from 18 an 20 century both at Puces de Saint-Ouen (near my atelier) 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.
