The mesmerizing Helen Folasade Adu, lead singer of the band Sade.

Inspired from a photograph by Chris Roberts in 1990.

My idea was notably to highlight the strength of contrasts.
I just used
- a 4H graphite pencil,
- a twenty-five years old mechanical pencil whose lead (I suppose that) is a HB one and that I last used when I was a child,
- a stick of compressed charcoal.

Ben-Hur portrayed by Charlton Heston in the eponym movie.

A former prince now a slave rowing in a Roman galley, following an unfornate event, unfair judgement and betrayal from a childhood friend... The movie is (notably) about resentment and forgiveness.

Drawn casually chiling in coffees, bars and parks, on a A5 sketchbook with a 8B graphite pencil.

Bart van der Leck This graphite pencil drawing ‘Bastet – 15-10-24’ is made in honor of dutch artist Bart van der Leck. Or should I say his famous painting ‘De Kat’? My parents had the poster in our house so I’ve known it all my life. If you want to see it on display please go to the Kröller Muller Museum here in The Netherlands. It’s worth the trip and you get all the Van Gogh paintings as a bonus. There was a direct reason to associate Bart’s painting with the artistic motif at hand. Christian Coigny Christian Coigny is a Swiss photographer who once took a picture of a woman with a cat. The latter is sitting on a central heating system. The position reminded me of Van der Leck’s cubist cat. Hence, they both became the inspirational sources for this particular drawings. However, I changed the composition dramatically; I cropped the picture big time for example. Another thing is that I left out the mug on the table. The central heating the cat is on is left out and is replaced by a plain windowstill. The female posture I heavily abstracted. The only reference to his picture is the way the light falls on both beings. Subtle Tones As to the artistic process finding forms wasn’t too difficult really. The difficulty lies in getting all the sutble tones right. Above all, I wanted to prevent the scenery becoming ‘clumpy’. Instead I took Monet’s vision of atmospheric depth to heart. Therefor I wanted to create the delicate atmosphere around the woman and the cat combined. .
