Life drawing May 2021
I enjoy when I can grab the character of that precise moment… more than the results, the act of drawing and painting live, right there, together with others… this is the real magic for me. It’s very difficult to describe the mental state when I’m concentrated in the drawing. I just love it!

Life drawing home session
Lockdown demands new practices.
playing with colors and old sketches

Parliament approved marriage for all in December 2020. However, a right-wing conservative committee has launched a referendum against it.
The right of being able to marry is not just a symbolic gesture for same sex couples, it should also give rainbow families stronger legal protections. Today, same Sex copules have to call each other „registered partners“, which is quite discriminating. It will be hopefully soon possible for a man to say proudly: „this is my husband“ or a woman: „this is my wife“, than that is what they really are.
The fight continues.
Hot cold hands & feet
The main difficulty in portraying the human figure is that we carry in our mind very strong representations of preconceived symbols, and every time we program ourselves to draw a hand, face or the human body, these symbols come to our mind and we end up falling into these symbolic representations.
I feel like exercising my stare. To identify the forms and thus recognize my own identity.
Quirophilia
The opposing thumb makes us unique, human.
The proportions of human hands are fascinating.
I like to admire them … light, powerful, strong.
