Drawing Atelier

The Drawing Atelier works from the observation of different models, such as objects, still lifes or images. It studies form, proportion, presence and the relationship between elements in space.

Using traditional materials, from dry drawing tools and techniques to wet media, it explores perspective, depth, light and tone in an experience that is at once visual and tactile, mental and material.
