DETAILS DANS MES YEUX
In my years of living in different countries across the globe, I have constantly found myself marvelling at the most intricate form and beauty of European architecture, and even café corners where i get lost in time just doing creative work and writings. I wanted to share more than just photographs from the visited places, so I turned to digital illustrations as a way of enduring the detailed parts that got my attention for so long and combined that with a touch of my favorite medium (watercolor). It seemed to me the most satisfying way of remembering my experience of the place and captured moments worth staring.
"I find that art prolongs the fleeting moment of admiration, while culture helps us to understand the stimulation of our senses. Why we feel what we feel for certain situations and spaces, we get from both art & culture, even if we are not artist or poets."

BONUS: an illustrated portrait of Gaston Blanchard. One of my favorite French Philosopher who wrote Poetics of Space--- the book that inspired me to see space in a cunning but surprisingly meaningful and poetic way, you almost feel that its personally written for you and your future space. A MUST READ!
