Totems. A series of works dedicated to the projections that we build in and about ourselves. One way or another, we compare ourselves with some kind of external and behavioral image. We build projections on our behavior and worldview. This is a kind of shield, armor in which we wrap ourselves while traveling along the thread of our life.

Twhe picture is made with Unison dry pastel on thick pastel paper Canson. All materials perfectly retain color pigment and will not lose their beauty over time. Pastel is a unique material on which great artists such as Degas, Monet and Vrubel created their canvases.

Materials used:

Pastel. Paper for pastel Canson
