The appeal of pen drawing
Introduction
Enter the universe that is mine, a space where the pen and the black stone dialogue with all simplicity on Arches 300g paper measuring 20 x 20. In this artistic journey, I invite you to discover the subtle fusion of these elements which give birth to unique works. This small square format, humble in appearance, is often the point of origin of my large-scale creations. Each stroke of the pen, each sketch of black stone, reveals a piece of the story that is being woven.
In this article, we will delve into this creative intimacy, where architecture blends into art with captivating harmony. We will explore the essential role of these preliminary sketches in lighting the way for my works to come. We will focus on the echo between human posture, format and space, and how these elements merge into a unique work.

The small square format: an artistic prologue
This small, almost modest square format plays a major role in my creative process . Often considered a simple sketch, it actually holds the secrets of my large-scale creations. Each stroke of the pen, each touch of black stone, reveals a glimpse of the shapes, emotions and ideas that are germinating.
The intimacy of the feather and the black stone
It is in this intimacy that the magic happens. The pen slides and concretizes my inspiration. Depending on the current exploration, the pen will be different as well as the ink used. But each gesture reflects an emotion, a fleeting moment. When the black stone is used, the shadows take shape, adding depth and presence to each line. It is a silent dialogue between the support and the instrument, an intimate conversation .
The dialogue between architecture and art
These sketches are the meeting point between architecture and art , two worlds that intertwine harmoniously. The human posture becomes the muse, each sketched line is a visual statement. The square format and the composition are all elements that enter into dialogue to create a composition of singular appeal.
Identity in the details
Each stroke of the pen, each sketch of black stone, becomes a constituent element of my artistic identity . These modest details are like fragments of a larger visual exploration. They transmit a raw inspiration, a spontaneity that permeates each of my creations.
The preliminary role: from small to large
These sketches are not simply a prelude, but the foundations on which I build my future creations. They nourish the soul of my larger works , giving them a substance and depth that emanate from these first drawings.
Beyond the limits of small format
When these sketches find their way into larger canvases, something extraordinary happens. Modest details flourish, ideas evolve, and space transforms into a canvas for expression. The echoes of the small format resonate in a larger brilliance depending on the format chosen.
