About The Artwork

"Young hunting dog meeting King of the forest Cernunos, and his noble court for the first time", collage, acrylic, ink, gold acrylic, pencil marker on stretched canvas, 60X60 cm. This is a mixed media story. This night scene is the invented story of a young hunting dog. During his first hunt in the woodlands, one night, hidden in the bushes, he meets the King of the forest. Cernunos is the name of this King. His kingdom is Nature. This animal is a great adult deer full of wisdom. He is the head of a herd of young deer and hinds. he is a symbol of strength, of life, of renewal in the Celtic tradition. He lives in the undergrowth of the forests of the Celtic legends. One thinks of the Big Male, father of Bambi, in the cartoon of Walt Disney. In front of this vision full of magical power, the young dog remains stopped, admiring and respectful. He understands that he himself is a son of Nature. I've made a textured ground on canvas with paper. This collage remain me the rain falling. There's a lot of grey, blue, green, and white dot like stars, or little fairies. the deers are between drawing and painting. Very rich aspects and textures, using dripping, dots, inking, glazings... And the Moon is made with textures and inks... The edges of the image are bordered in black, like an illustration. I've told you the story I was thinking about while I was making this artwork. But you can imagine a lot of other stories... and find your favorite one. So it will be THE right story :-) All artworks are existing by the eyes of the viewer... This is an original painting, ready to hang. This handmade artwork will be delivered with an invoice and a signed certificate of authenticity. Shipping carefully packed, insured and tracked. Cette scène nocturne est l'histoire inventée d'un jeune chien de chasse. Lors de sa 1ere chasse, une nuit, caché dans les buissons, il rencontre le Roi de la forêt. Cernunos est le nom de ce Roi. Son royaume est la Nature. Cet animal est un grand cerf adulte plein de sagesse. Il est le chef d'une harde de jeunes cerfs et de biches. Il est un symbole de force, de vie, de renouveau dans la tradition celtique. Il habite dans les sous-bois des forêts des légendes celtiques. On pense au Grand Mâle, père de Bambi, dans le dessin animé de Walt Disney. Devant cette vision pleine de puissance féérique, le jeune chien reste en arrêt, admiratif et respectueux. Il comprend qu'il est lui même un fils de la Nature.

I was born in 1962. I'm a professional artist, based in France.in the Loire Valley. I live and work in Vouvray, (land of good white wines, sparkling or still, dry or sweet) in Touraine, in a very pretty troglodyte dwelling, typical of the Loire Valley. I studied Fine Arts at the Institute of Visual Arts in Orleans where I entered with a file of floral illustrations for fabrics and an experimental feature film in video. Finally, I studied printmaking, experimental cinema, and photography. But what I liked best, in cinema, was drawing storyboards! I obtained High School Art Diploma (DNSEP, equivalent to a Master's degree) in 1989. As I student in Fine Arts, I started studying lyrical singing at the Orléans Conservatory, right next to the IAV. I had studied solfège and piano as a child, which made it easier for me to resume my musical studies later on! I spent some time in harmony and composition classes, but I soon realised that music as a composer would not be my means of expression. In 1991, on the advice of my singing teacher, I had an audition at the Tours Opera House, and I was hired in the Professional Choir where I still sing! I am a gourmand of pictorial techniques and subjects. Everything is likely to interest me one day. The human figure, landscapes, seascapes, forests, and now, flowers. Schematically, to sum up, after having done very dark and serious works in my youth, the more I advance in life, the more I find myself with a pronounced taste for beauty, colour and life! I love to explore painting techniques. It is for me an endless journey, filled with the happiness of accomplishment, the enjoyment of inventiveness, creativity! I couldn't live without creating. Creation is my vital engine, the source of my energy. Giving matter to, giving birth to, making with my hands, imagining, letting my eyes dream. Creating … In my second profession, as a lyrical singer, I am an interpreter of music, scores, composers. I am one of the tools of conductors (like soloists, instrumentalists, all choristers). Whereas in my job as a painter and drawer, I am a CREATOR. But my lyrical singer job balances me and brings me the pleasure of being on stage, in performance, in front of spectators, singing and dancing as part of a team, doing sensitive and artistic collective work. On the other hand, the fine arts, for me, can only be practiced in the solitude of the studio.
