Inspired by the world of Superman and ancient sculpture, The Man of Steel offers a contemporary interpretation of one of the most iconic figures in popular culture, raised to the status of mythological hero.
Presented as a sculptural fragment bust, head and arms removed, the famous superhero appears to traverse the centuries as a forgotten deity. His emblem, symbolically engraved at the heart of the composition, remains intact, like a relic of his past power.

Technique
Each drawing begins with an almost imperceptible imprint, made with a round point. This initial mark helps me prepare the composition while preserving the whiteness of the paper.
Next comes the Bic blue ballpoint pen. The curved, spontaneous, interwoven lines accumulate and overlap to gradually give rise to the shapes, volumes and contrasts. The density of the strokes builds the shadows and reveals the depth of the drawing, while the white spaces preserve light and balance in the composition.
Trained ink issues may reveal small ink dots, witnesses to the manual gesture and an integral part of the work.
It is in this meeting of precision and spontaneity that my work expresses itself: a controlled construction, propelled by the freedom of the stroke.
