I started my career as an artist very late. It was in retirement that I discovered the linocut technique in Hélène Brémond’s workshop in Evry-Courcouronnes. Very quickly I acquired the means to practice this art. Linocutting begins with engraving a linoleum plate using gouges. The matrix is then inked. We apply a sheet of paper which we press strongly. We obtain an engraving.
A former industrial designer, the technical means of engraving and printing interests me greatly. I like the artisanal side of manual engraving and the technical side of printing. Another aspect of the technique makes it possible to compensate for my poor painting skills. I start from a photograph. This photo is manipulated by image processing software to obtain a sketch which will be traced onto the plate.
Conventionally, linocuts are made by printing sheets of paper. I developed means and a printing technique to burn discs.
