Original artwork description:
From the series “Zi hua”, pencil on paper, 30 x 40 cm.
I wanted to learn to write Chinese characters, but I've lost control! I have always been fascinated by the art of the ideograms, and when I was in China I spent hours and hours, enchanted to observe people trying to dip the brushes into water, and to draw on the ground ephemeral signs intended to evaporate, with controlled and sensual movements. But my nature is baroque! The gesture that I started cannot be stopped, the hand begins to draw on the paper some convolutions, scrolls and doodles, at first timid, but soon prevailing over the same character and its meaning! And the gesture that remains, even if free and decorative, is extremely rewarding for me!

I’m
like a mouse in its box. A little mouse safe in its shelter, that passes his time gnawing the
food stored for the winter. But my food are the drawings. I... Read more
