Frame provided, black wood strips and glass window. Size 21 X 29.7cm. Originally from the tip of finistère, I have always evolved with the sea. Met a few years ago, the art of marine imprint was obvious to me. Exploring the possibilities offered by stamping, I attach great importance to the transmission of the relief of each animal. Adopting refined tones, the vitality of my works is based on the movement and finesse of the print. I capture the majority of the subjects of my works myself. Fishing and underwater hunting are sources of inspiration and strengthen my bond with the stamped creature. It is its encounter in a natural environment that allows me to capture all its vitality. Once back, I make sure to find the perfect arrangement for their fins, spines, or tentacles. Then comes the time for inking: my brushes place on these bodies the thin layer of paint that will sublimate them. A long work begins: each part of the animal requires a different inking according to its pigmentation, its texture, and the result that I wish to obtain. Finally, I come to place a thin sheet of mulberry paper on the painted creature: it is this that will capture the imprint. Delicately, I tap the paper so that it soaks up the pigments, then gently remove the sheet. Final gesture, I affix my stamp as a signature in red ink.
