Passionated by the greek mythology, I reinterpreted passages from « Metamorphoses » of Ovid, trying to reveal a different point of view from the initial scene with violence sometime but always with a poetic vision.
I use to spend one month for each drawing in order to get the best idea for each myth related to the zodiac signs I want to represent and also because I’m obsessed by the details with the graphite I use.
Deeply inspired by Mannerism, I always try to keep in mind all these small anomalies that draw the viewer’s attention.
What I’m looking for is to give you the desire to learn more about the greek mythology to understand the hidden message in these drawings!
