Drawings

The preparatory sketches for the paintings of both the cars and the people carry the same thematic weight as the final works, but they exude a sense of spontaneity and the tactile risk inherent in working on paper. These sketches are drawn alla prima, in a confident "ligne claire" style that is free from hesitation. The clarity of line is evident, with each stroke deliberate and sure, suggesting an immediacy in the creation process.

This technique captures the raw energy of the moment and brings an authentic, unfiltered essence to the subject matter. The sureness of the line reflects a boldness in approach, where each decision is made in the moment and there is little room for second-guessing.

In these drawings, there's a sense of living in the now, embracing the fluidity and unpredictability of life as reflected through the lens of the artist's perspective. The inherent risk of working in this manner — without the ability to erase or revise — underscores the themes of transience and the fleeting nature of the moments they capture.
