INTERVIEW 1

The intaglio

Spell and release

[...] "The guiding emotion, the breath commands and rules.After the quality of soul, the size is born, alive or dead and everything is there.The very life of the engraver seems to be at stake".

[...] The technique of engraving goes through so many stages, the physical game is so important with the varnishes, the acids, the tools, that the artist forgets to censor himself and totally releases his subconscious. It always ends in completion. "
