Artist'statement

          "Drawing is the basis of everything" said Giacometti, but it is also everything in itself. It is often enough, drawing for the sake of drawing.The subject is a pretext; it effaces itself and leaves room for the strokes of the pencil. A blank piece of paper, first contours and then forms; the pencil surrounds, traces a repetitive movement, incessantly, creating the subject matter. We pass to grey,contrasts appear and disappear, light and dark remain.
