BLIND CONTOUR COLLECTION
Limited Edition Portrait Series: Celebrating the Artists Who Inspired Me
This exclusive limited series of portraits, created between 2012 and 2016, pays tribute to a diverse group of artists—both well-known and obscure—who have deeply influenced my creative journey. Each portrait is a unique expression of admiration and inspiration, meticulously crafted using the "Blind Contour" technique. The result is a striking fusion of lines and light, where each figure emerges organically, giving life and depth to the subject.
The portraits are all executed on high-quality 200g paper, each measuring 30x40 cm, a consistent format that provides a sense of unity throughout the series. Using a combination of charcoal and white chalk, I’ve carefully built each work to highlight the play between shadow and light. The process takes between 2 to 4 hours per piece, with every stroke infused with the intensity of my personal connection to the subject.
Award-Winning Art: In 2013, this series earned 1st prize in the "Io Espongo 2013" competition in Turin, Italy, hosted by the Azimut Cultural Association. This recognition is a testament to the emotional depth and technical skill that went into each portrait, underscoring the quality and significance of this body of work.
At the bottom of this page, I invite you to explore my "Freaks Animals" collection, inspired by the Universal Bestiary of Professor Revillod. These pieces, created using the same Blind Contour technique, draw upon the fascinating world of mythical creatures and fantastical beasts, offering a natural extension to the expressive energy of the portraits.
Each work in this series is hand-signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity, ensuring the unique value and provenance of the piece. Whether you are an avid collector, an art lover, or someone seeking to add a truly original touch to your space, these works offer both aesthetic beauty and cultural significance.
