Monotypes and Drawings
The monotypes and drawings give me more freedom than complex paintings. A monotype or drawing holds the same importance as a painting, an assemblage, or an installation. I choose the medium depending on the message or feeling I want to express.
I make the monotypes in series with several subjets such as Cosmographie (the relation between art and astronomy), Bibliothèque d'un amateur (relation between text and image), Pigeonier à conserver (reseach about architecture) and free subjects.
The monotypes are for sale on Artmajeur.

In the Christian religion, the catechism designates the instruction of the doctrines of the Christian faith. It often takes the form of an official presentation of the articles of faith, serving as a basic tool for catechesis, which is the set of actions intended to educate children, young people and adults in Christian doctrine. Catechesis is one of the components of the evangelical mission of Christianity.
