The FEMALE FIGURE is fundamental to his work, which is grounded in the grand classical tradition of superb draughtsmanship. At the same time, his sense of composition, design, delicacy and keen sensitivity are uniquely his own. The particularity of his models is very important to him and fundamental to his creative process, the model being, in a sense, the co-author of the art.
