I think it is important to show, and above all to understand, the working approach that almost no one, through negligence, laziness or ignorance, practices anymore. It’s a shame and very damaging for the expression and photographic quality. Remember these sketches from all eras that we admire in the cabinets of some museums. These charcoal, Indian ink and other sanguine drawings that amaze us. These works are the studies done…

The forest embodies our share of shadows and dreams: it either frightens or enchants us, a legacy of the pagan world that has populated our subconscious with evil or protective entities.

I look at them today with tenderness,…
