About the Artist

I am a self-taught portraitist. I have been drawing since november 2005.
I wish to pay an homage to Eric Porter (1928-1995) who was a great Shakespearian actor, worldwide famous for his part of Soames Forsyte in The Forsyte saga on TV in 1967 and best known by the Sherlock Holmes fans as Professor Moriarty in 1985. A classical actor and a modern one as well who decided to go deeper in King Lear acting by symbolizing Lear madness and poverty by taking off his clothes till his underwear, a modern way to understand the character which was very shocking for the sixties but...followed as a standard of interpretation. I wish that my drawings could (a little) give an idea of his strong acting, his so expressive glance together with his sensibility. For me, black and white is the translation of the nude greatness of Mr Porter's talent. I want people to be aware he is still a part of English culture.


In the meantime of two years, my style changed. I began with pencil and white sheet, then black pencil, then coloured pastels and now, the colour of the background leads me to play when I want to emphasize an atmosphere : the tenderness of grey for children, the strength of brown for wildness of feelings, purple or yellow for happiness.
