Statement
I work mainly in printmaking (relief print and intaglio) and drawing (sketches, landscape, nature and life drawing).
I use classic intaglio techniques, - dry point, etching, soft ground, aquatint, ... - but I am really fascinated by the range of artistic expression and the straightforwardness of woodcuts.
Drawing, lines, surface and structure, are recurrent elements in my work, and allow me to explore and grasp the essential of my motives, from the figurative to the limits of the abstract.
