Title: Study of Velázquez Technique: Drawing Support: Natural white paper 70 g/m² (Le Grand Bloc) Dimensions: 25 × 25 cm Year of completion: 2017 Edition: Unique piece Signature: Signed on the front
This drawing stems from the desire to understand Velázquez through practice. It is not about copying, but about inhabiting the scene through synthesis. By reducing the image to its essential gestures, what remains is an open, vulnerable structure, still under construction.
I am interested in how, in this type of study, the act of drawing becomes a form of dialogue with the history of art. The sketch does not seek formal perfection, but the internal rhythm of the composition, the pulse of the bodies, the weight of a historical moment. Here, visual memory is activated not as a citation, but as a reinterpreted presence.
