Creation is a transformational process. I am fascinated by the thought I evoke chaos turning my graphite pencil fillings into dust and my pencil eraser into crumbles, but at the same time creating something new.

Sans titre – 30-07-18

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Sans Titre – 30-07-18’ depicts American celebrity moviestar Faye Dunaway. The straight planes put the stress on her tough cookie character.

Summer in Holland – 25-07-18

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Summer in Holland – 25-07-18’ is an ambiguous image. I had a double vision. Hence, two women for the price of one.

Another session with my model and I used an unusual point of view: above her and it took the challenge to capture the foreshortened shapes of her body.

I always tell my students that art is about seeing one thing in another, just like tasting wine and describing it by comparing to something completely different than wine itself, like chocolate, red fruit, etc.

I was very happy with the result of my latest session with my favorite model. She showed great triangular structures and edges.
