Tiny dudes!! I am a big fan of #neocolor2 from @carandache . I have been drawing quasi exclusively with them since last year. Their pigments and colors are so strong. They have great texture and opacity. This is really a must have to me. I don’t use them with watercolors yet.
Have you already tried them?

Small sketch with a 3D frame which gives me depth and a more precious look. Here I mixed shapes and lettering and that was really fun to do. Soon available on my website.

Sometimes you just need to stop.
A van, a forest, my dog — and my wife by my side. I just moved to a new region of France and before diving back into the studio, I needed to breathe.
This is kind of what I paint right now — this necessity to slow down, reconnect with nature, let the noise fade out. The “inner landscapes” I explore on canvas, they start here, in moments like this one.
Nature isn’t just my inspiration. It’s my therapy.
Back to the studio soon. 🌿

Always a good moment to come back here and check a work I did in 2024. Fresh and Pop colors and a great #lettering that says « Go play outside ». I thought it would be gone as the whole neighbourhood was taken down but it still here and proud! I miss doing #murals.

Nothing beats an evening in the desert around Navajo territories. The colors are incredible, the sun is still warm and the quietness of Nature is healing. You are alone in the middle of nowhere you think bit Nature is all around ready to give you its essence.

Change is difficult. Right now my life is a kind of mess having to deal with moving from a region to another one, having a child leaving the house and making new plans for work.
But in that storm there is something consistent: creating. I try to draw or paint each day. This is my escape. With powerful colors I try to express my feelings and emotions. Escaping, travelling the world in our beautiful nature. This my therapy and by providing my work to you I try to share with you my vision and that aspect of well being through Art. It is always there when you feel down.

Back to drawing with 3 colors, instead of usually 4 plus the light yellow for the background. I try to introduce more green to make them play with pinks. It is not always essy to find the harmony that will bring great and positive emotions. Green is a cold color to me but the mix with fluo magenta is a perfect balance.

Lately my work took me to fantastic places. Powerful colors and textures made me travel, go outside, breathe and feel good. And @_solid_art I met people who felt the same about my paintings: it helped them feeling good, relaxed but at the same time energized. It was all positive vibes. And when there is a relationship created this way through a painting, this is amazing to me. This is so rewarding.
my work helps me feel good, this is my representation of Nature, a place we tend to forget but that is here to give you so much. And there is a connection around everything here: I go out to health and feel better, I express it in my paintings and when someone sees them and feel the same way, bam! this is all I need.

This afternoon I played a bit with #nanobanana to try to do mockups for my paintings. Here the first « good » result I had with a beige global minimalist hotel lobby with a bit of pink here and there and modern furniture. The principal issue I had here was with the painting. Between different versions, the AI changed slightly the colors and the shapes. For now I used only a free version of it. But it helps me overall to see in which #interior_design environments my art could work. And at some point when I meet potential #collectors it can be a great tool to use.
Sometimes things happen and make youceven stronger. This last weekend I was exhibiting at @_solid_art , a great #artfair in #Paris. That was my first art fair and did learn a lot. But I never thought that the principal guest of the art fair, @lorem.pdf , a famous french #streetartist would drop by my corner, says he loves my work and buys it. That means a lot to me and could not make me more confident of the direction I give to my work 💪 Un grand merci @lorem.pdf pour ton soutien 🙏
Note: I think though I need to work on my look looking at this photo 🤣😝😅
If you are in Paris don’t hesitate to come and say hi @_solid_art . We are open today up to 8pm and tomorrow from 10am to 6pm. I hope to see you there !
