Clementine was a magnificent and very talented model. One does not realize if one is not of the trade, but it is not enough to be beautiful to be a good model, it is strange to know to send its image, to give itself to see, and that is a gift Rather difficult to explain. Clementine obviously had it, and it was a great pleasure to have her as a model in my studio. Drawing from a living model is very difficult, especially if one hopes that in the drawing there is something alive and not just a flat image. And in truth after 40 years of hard work, if I'm happy enough to think, to believe that I've been a bit successful in this exercise, I must confess that I am not able to explain how I succeeded. Look at this particular drawing and the detail of the face, and imagine yourself in my place, with magnificent Clementine from top to bottom, and with two or three poor pencils one has to account for and translate this mystery so deep, and this feeling before beauty , And that some scrawls on paper could translate, express that. It's impossible ! In any case it is the feeling that we feel inevitably besides imagining that we will be ridiculous before the model that will necessarily look "what it gives". Well with some ten years The strange thing is that "it gives" but we do not understand how the magic operates. Look at the detail of the face, done in a few seconds, and tell me if you understand something, what intention may well be behind these entangled lines that strangely restore the beauty of youth.

Michel Suret-Canale (born March 4, 1957) is a French artist from Paris. Born in the suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt on March 4, 1957, Michel Suret-Canale spent his childhood in the artistic center of Paris, growing up in the home of his grandfather, medalist and publisher of art medals Victor S. Canale (1883–1958) who was also a sculptor, ceramicist, printmaker and inventor. He is the son of the late Jean Suret-Canale (1921–2007), an extensively published author, French historian of Africa, World War II resistance fighter and Georgette (Lamargot) Suret-Canale, World War II resistance fighter to, a poet and journalist. Michel Suret-Canale decided to become an artist by the age of 14. After his secondary education at the Lycée Claude Bernard in Paris, Michel enrolled at the University of Arts and Sciences of Art, Department of Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne, eventually earning a doctorate in Arts and Sciences of Art with honors by unanimous decision of the jury. Throughout the years Michel Suret-Canale has found ways to express himself artistically in various disciplines including scenography, publication, graphics and multimedia. Between 1984 and 2007 he did extensive work with the troupe of French theatrical clowns, Les Matapeste, with his contributions including set and costume design, advertising posters, photography and the design of their Website. He has all his life conducted ongoing research in methods of digital art, the results of which can be seen in his robotic paintings as well as his New York RE-Views series of combine paintings from the summer of 2008. As a visual artist, Michel Suret-Canale is one of the first artists to look beyond selling through agents and galleries by offering his work on eBay auctions, enabling him to be in direct contact with collectors. While at first this met with some criticism, it was soon to prove a viable method of introducing his art to a worldwide audience. Suret-Canale's artwork has been shown in exhibitions throughout France as well as in Spain, Great Britain, Moscow, Casablanca (Morocco) and the United States. His artworks are present in more than 600 private collections in 28 different countries all over the world.
