Sometimes you just don’t know… (Big Angel’s Evening Gown) – Watercolor Illustration

My Vision of Fashion

Big Angel's Evening Gown - Moleskine Notebook Entry while metroing

…where visions come from. The vision of my big angel has probably to do with my love for textiles and Haute-Couture, but also with the many human beings I see here daily. No!  People are not walking around in extravagant evening gowns in the Paris Metro, but there are so many differently shaped faces and bodies fusing into my intuitive sketching.

This kind of “Drawing from inside” works well with a very fine ink-pen (0.1mm), just letting the lines float into the hand, into the pen and softly on the paper. Oh, don’t think. Just look and let grow…

Pictures of the exhibition “Women” – Exposition “FEMMES”

This is a piece of the Textile Art Series “Ancestormasks” which are part of an ongoing collective exhibition “FEMMES”, here in Paris. I just put up pictures of the exhibition, the artists and the vernissage (which took place last Wednesday) on our artists’ federation’s blog  SEIZIEM’ART

I have re-worked this piece here as I thought it was too pink before, and without knowing it, I chose a color which perfectly hamonized with the artwork of the other artists participating in this exhibition!

Now it’s time to relax, have a nice Sunday!
