Copying a work has existed since the dawn of time, the main thing is not to sell them as original paintings because they would no longer be copies but fakes! In a museum or an exhibition, people sit in front of a work and reproduce it to acquire the subtleties and the style of the master. Moreover, great painters practiced it regularly such as Delacroix, Rubens, Michelangelo and recently Elaine Sturtevant, Richard Pettibone, Dominique Mulhem, Didier Conrad, Michel Champion, and even André Leclerc, the list is long.

The most copied painting is the Mona Lisa which I myself used in the "Pixels" section in order to offer a new enigmatic dimension to this painting. I like to say that copying by reinterpreting the original is indeed a form of art but imitating all the complexities of the painting, the slightest brush strokes and gestures of the master, respecting the colorimetry or the shadows and lights in the slightest detail are fraudulent.

When I work from artists' works, I seek above all to identify the style, the meaning of creation, the given rhythm, this allows me to assimilate new ways of painting or drawing and to perfect or complete my work. own palette. Then you must not fall into megalomania and believe yourself superior, no you will never paint as well as the artist from whom you draw inspiration. I therefore do not hope to do better than them but I allow myself the pleasure and the right to believe that I am alongside them in their workshops, under their wise advice.
