Engraving has more kinship with indirect sculpture than one might think. Working on metal, and the notions of negative imprints are common to them. In all graphic creation (painting, pastel, charcoal, and also engraving…), there are artists who will favor colored masses with more or less defined contours; and those who will prefer to work on the outline and the very clear line. I am one of the latter. Indeed, the line is in my opinion the most convincing way to treat my representations always narrative with a surrealist and fantastic style tinged with dreaminess, irony and existential angst and sometimes also committed satire. Even scathing humor and derision are essential to me, if only to put things into perspective, and not take oneself too seriously in this world here below where everything is ephemeral and transitory. Even in serious subjects, humor can persist. All is not lost because the human is still there.
In my engraved projections, I incorporate many characters: humans, hybrids, and naturalistic or fictional animals taken from my sculpture. Each plays its role in these cardboard sets of the Commedia Dell' Arte theater where glances meet and challenge each other. In the lower parts of the prints, you will often find pastiches of self-portraits with disguises.
At first, I had some difficulties in the transition from the spatial work to that in a restricted two-dimensional framework. That is why I always try to occupy the entire perimeter imposed on me; hence this somewhat baroque and composite stacking effect that requires a commentary for visual aid and understanding of the signifier. However, my engraved style will always remain a hermetic adventure that one discovers step by step by opening the drawers. The paradox of engraving, despite the ingratitude of the materials, is that it allows exuberance and the abundance of the imagination.
