Visual art

A word that expresses the encounter, the most powerful emotion, how to write it itself?

The six letters that make up the word “couple” have a hard time fitting together, and even end up forming other words.

Write the word “color” with multi-colored letters.

Listen to the people around you and write down some of their words.

The intersection of the bodies of certain letters is the nature of this writing.

How a single word, the most important of words, reveals different facets only through the way it is written.

It is forbidden for the lines to touch each other. And yet they dialogue, all the more so.

The letters of these words must be in each other, for they have been asked. They seek their freedom there.

These letters must touch each other, without mixing their bodies.

Where the intersection between the letters is no exception, the word that at first seemed to flee takes its reason.

Here the letters do not touch, which does not take anything away from the depth of their dialogue; it is courteous love.

The letters of these words are necessarily linked, by the line.

Words are discovered, stripped, met in the adventure of their freehand writing.

Calligraphic explorations, unique words inspiring their form of drawing.
