Ragnar Lodbrok ("Ragnar hairy-breeches"), according to legends, was a Viking hero and a Swedish and Danish king.[3] He is known from Old Norse poetry of the Viking Age, Icelandic sagas, and near-contemporary chronicles. According to traditional literature, Ragnar distinguished himself by conducting many raids against Britain and the Holy Roman Empire during the 9th century. He also appears in Norse legends, and according to the legendary sagas Tale of Ragnar's Sons and a Saga about Certain Ancient Kings, Ragnar Lodbrok's father has been given as the legendary king of the Swedes, Sigurd Ring.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Hyperrealism

Painting which expresses, by means of representation, external reality in a very realistic way.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.

My artistic journey has been shaped by trials that could have easily shattered my creative spirit. At the age of 6, I lost my pillar, my guide, my father, in a tragic motocycle accident. Losing a parent is losing a part of you and that’s very painful. This early loss cast a dark shadow over my childhood, confronting me with the brutal reality of life’s fragility.

Loss of Friend and Pain of Divorce:
As I grew, life wasted no time in presenting me with other heartbreaking challenges. The loss of my best friend, a faithful companion through life’s ups and downs, left a deep void in my already wounded heart. And then, there was the divorce, another emotional storm that shook the foundations of my life, followed by the loss of my dog a few days later.

Artistic Awakening:
It was in this whirlwind of tumultuous emotions that I found my refuge, my outlet – art. The pencil became my silent voice to express unspeakable pain, while photography became my way of capturing fleeting moments of beauty and joy in a sometimes dark and disorderly world.

Transformation through Creativity:
Yet, amidst these trials, I found the strength to keep creating. Each pencil stroke was a catharsis, a release of the anxiety and sadness weighing on me. Each snapshot captured by my lens was a tribute to life’s fragile beauty, a reminder that even in the deepest darkness, there is always light to be found.

Seeking Healing:
Through my art, I began to find healing. Each piece was a step towards inner peace, a means of transforming pain into something beautiful and inspiring. Stark landscapes and moving faces became my companions, guiding me through life’s storms to shores of calm and serenity.

A Legacy of Hope:
Today, my art is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of creativity to heal the wounds of the soul. Through my pencil drawings and photographs, I share my journey with the world, offering a glimmer of hope to those going through dark times.

Artistic Heritage:
Through my work, I hope to inspire others to embrace their own artistic journey, to find strength in adversity and beauty in imperfection. I firmly believe in the power of art to heal, transform, and transcend the limits of human existence.

Conclusion:
My artistic journey is a symphony of raw emotions and unexpected beauty, a journey of transformation through pain and loss. Whether in the shadows of pencil or in the light of my photographs, I find the strength to keep creating, inspiring, and sharing the beauty I find in this complex and wonderful world.
