MONOTYPE

                                                           The monotypes are developed with the Carborundum technique. This process consists of drawing motifs with the carborundum mineral mixed with different glue on an aluminium plate. 

Several plates are necessary; one for each colour and design. The paper is

handmade in a french mill. 

The thickness of the paper (up to 7 mm) allows me to work in the texture to get 

embossing impressions.I work mainly 

on older presses. One is none other than a machine coming from the “Mourlot” 

atelier on which many artists 

including Picasso, Braque, Matisse to name a few, have made their engravings. I produce the monotypes

at the studio and publishing house of "Jacques Berville" in Arpaillargues in the Gard.
