Fleshed out · 1156 days ago by Éric
The following image is the fruit of an attempt to do a reproduction of an antique statue (one of Antinous’), hoping that starting from simple forms, I could train myself to better visualize and represent human anatomy.
Quickly enough though, facetious spirits, probably inspired by Michelangelo’s unfinished (non finito) slaves, emerging from their mass of stone, wondered whether it would be possible to come to a more realistic representation starting from the same pose, without wanting to discard the initial basis though.
As I finished this painting, a new idea came to me. What would be its context, its story?
And one night, I found that it could very well be a tale,… why not?
All it has to do is to begin with the “once upon a time” line.
Finally, I make up my mind to throw some lines upon the keyboard, and I discover that the matter far outstretches the initial context set up by the image.
So here are the chapters, which were published one after the other :
- Chapter I : The Depths of Humbra
- Chapter II : Behind the Door of Doubt
- Chapter III : An Unexpected Passage
- Chapter IV : The Queen of Virtues

La surface des choses · 1216 days ago by Éric
This picture recently once more reworked illustrates perfectly the maze of creation (mine at least).
To continue on the subject, I encourage you, fearless reader, to read this text .
Otherwise, you will perhaps find some solace in watching this small animation (graced by Enya’s Water Shows the Hidden Heart)…
Eerie World · 1301 days ago by Éric
The little story behind this picture, a collaboration with Magali, mostly involuntary on her part.
As for the big story, it remains to be told. But that should be her initiator’s task… if her creation cannot do it by itself.

Élégante (craie sur Canson noir) · 1401 days ago by Éric
Reproduction of an original artwork (the references of which I ignore) from a cut-out in a literary magazine (commissioned).
Made with (dry) colored chalk on black Canson paper. Dimensions: 32 x 48 cm
Sadly, as I tried to lacquer it, colors (especially the white) got tarnished, without even succeeding in fixing the pigments.
On the whole, an interesting experiment with chalk which is an enjoyable material to work with, but only yielding an ephemeral and dull artwork...
L’attaque des trolls (collab) · 1640 days ago by Éric
