When I was a student in the École des
beaux-arts de Paris, I have often sketched or painted after many masterpieces
in the musée du Louvre. I am sure it helped me to develop my skills and to
understand what painting was about. Also, I always have been curious about
history of art and artists and I am a avid reader of art books. I sometimes
show some of my art books to my students and propose them to create a project
after an artist. It is not about copying but about developing creativity, technics, imagination and
artistic sensibility through the discovery of great masters and their works.

Some cubist collages and paintings after Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque:
