To reach the exceptional level of the great masters in porcelain painting you have to link good taste with practice and a lot of talent.
Each painted piece, vase, plaque, tray, plate, egg, etc... is subject to a radical transformation from the withe porcelain. It has to be painted, decorated and gilded in the 18^th century tradition.
The artist uses different brushes made of hog, sable, squirel or skunk's hair and colours made of metal oxide.
Several firings take place, ranging from 810° to 715° for gold ans platinium and up to 1400° for under glaze painting.
Once completed, the piece is signed and stamped by the artist.
In 1960 there were 400 specialised painter recorded, today only a few remain.

A word from the artist :
Art without past has no future.
May be, but I am comforted by the idea that china painting was first of all the ceramic of Etruria and Egypt.
What have we got in the 20^th century since the advent of the impessionists ?
I carry on the age old tradition of the porcelain painters, without constraint, trying to respect the spirit and the beauty of a delicate piece, translucent and precious.
