As part of my artistic development, I am working on children´s portraits. I try to capture a moment in which the child´s expression has a hint of INNOCENCE… something unique and just so joyful to be able to catch!

As I like white&black portraits, I use graphite and charcoal for the figure, and color pastels for the background and frame of it : there, I can let my fantasy go with the child portrayed… Again: another playful time for the work! For now, I am using black and white pictures as my references.
