This motif was inspired by the ceramic tables of the 1950s. Curves and returns, all dressed in retro colors, a little off, a little out of fashion. A cameo of colors inspired by design and interior decorating classics, especially vintage 50/60’s and 70’s collections. My drawing (original, created freehand) was engraved on canvas using a laser machine. It was then entirely and carefully hand-colored with a brush. The intermediate intervention of digital tools in the creative process was at the heart of my project. Human vs. machine? This use of laser engraving enabled me to produce a complete series of the same motif, with very different color ranges and personalities.
