People usually say that I’m used to paint only women. That’s not completely true, even if I very seldom paint men.
My male characters have somehow delicates features and a kind of fragility. Almost ambiguous. Most of the time, a lot of things a painter choose to represent can be completely unconscious. As it is the case with me, it took me time before I understand the reason.
A lot of my pictures deal with nostalgia. I’m all “nostalgia”. The female character is more appropriate to translate that kind of feeling. A felling of desperate end of everything we cherish. So when I represent a man, he must pass on all that to us. It’s probably the reason I why I do prefer fragile characters like imps that the usual representation of the heroic-fantasy’s warrior.
