TECHNICAL ITINERARY
In combination with all my work, I trace sketches of forms that come from feelings that I want to express, without overly bothering about my sources of inspiration: the observation of the nature, volumes and structures, plants and minerals… mixed with what may arise from my unconscious.
When I decide to make the sculpture outlined, I start studying the volume with clay or cardboard. This is not strictly speaking a model, it is a starting point that allows me to visualize in three dimensions what I intend to achieve.
When my project is ready, I determine a size and think about technical implications, choice of steel (mild steel or stainless steel, or also aluminum, brass or copper), thickness, necessary surface, welding input.
I cut an item of the top of the sculpture or the most complex part I want to begin with on stiff paper, make me a shape like in sewing.
I start …
 
...and cut this shape on a large sheet of steel 1.5 mm thick.
 
  cut steel jig
 
   
...then, according to the project, I bend, in a direction...
 
…in the other one, as many times as necessary with this machine.
 
...I cut off, bend an element after another to match their assembly.
 
…Or I fold.
 
 
 
 
 
…I assemble.
 
...I do welding points
 
...I carry on cutting off, assembling, pointing, item by item, listening to what I feel of the whole volume.

... When the sculpture is completed, I weld it entirely.
 
arc welding
 
grinding
...then I grind welds carefully to obtain a pure and sharp edge.
