Having encountered it a few years ago, the art of marine imprinting was an obvious choice for me. Exploring the possibilities offered by stamping, I place great importance on conveying the relief of each animal. Adopting pure tones, the vitality of my works relies on the movement and finesse of the imprint. I personally capture the majority of the subjects of my works. Fishing and underwater hunting are sources of inspiration and strengthen my connection with the stamped creature. It is the encounter in a natural environment that allows one to grasp its full vitality. Once back, I ensure to find the perfect arrangement for their fins, spines, or tentacles. Then comes the time for inking: my brushes apply a fine layer of paint to these bodies that will enhance them. A long process begins: each part of the animal requires a different inking depending on its pigmentation, texture, and the result I wish to achieve. Finally, I place a fine sheet of mulberry paper on the painted creature: it is this that will capture the imprint. Gently, I tap the paper so that it absorbs the pigments, then carefully remove the sheet. As a final gesture, I apply my signature with the red ink stamp.
