You're welcome. I think your works (drawing style) are interesting, and perhaps even chaotic...

Thank you.
By chaotic: is it for positive or negative?
π: 0 β©: 1
Certainly not negative. For me just your work "Cri" (or "Disintegration") is a little too chaotic. I personally prefer calmer pictures.

Ok, I understand. Sometimes I need to express such chaotic feelings!
I thought you meant that there was no unity in my various series, which I would agree: I would like to deepen a style / technique, unfortunately, not being able to pursue in a unique way.

Why not?
(If I understand well what you wanted to say...)

Because we were said, at art school, that we should persevere on a unique way if we want to make progress. Some artists work on the same series for years! I'm not able to do this, finding it difficult to simply do almost the same thing! This is perhaps why I will always be a hobbyist

Now to invent something new, it is ... impossible, because the wheel is invented, the line also. Now only possible to rearrange the lines in their own way. And do what you are pleased (though long known manner) until it becomes unique, peculiar. And it becomes art.
Your school art teachers was probably very ironic.

You are simply right!
However, teachers were only but serious: they also sincerely believe that a unique and recognizable artistic approach is like a brand/corporate visual identity. But such concern may be self-marketing, not art.

Maybe, maybe... Wait, I'm a little confused... You consider yourself like a stamp?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not sure: by "stamp", do you mean "stereotype"?
I meant: i've been often told that a professional artist must stay in a way (an "approach", that means either a technique, a subject, an idea...) and never deviate from it in order to find success. A professionnal artist should promote the same art until (s)he is known. Actually some continue to do more or less the same things after being known, not to disappoint their public.
I left the school because I didn't want to be a professional artist. I couldn't imagine to reason as a salesman, nor to think about my production as would do an advertising agency.

Seal, mask, mirror cover ... whatever.
My English is not perfect, so I could understand something wrong. ;/
Now I begin to do their final work of art school, it is our request to return to childhood, to free the mind, in other words, forget boundaries and rules. I think this is a very good teacher attitude.

Wow, your teachers are wonderful! Now, I'm far from childhood, and the child i was start knocking at the door and i can hear him saying 'hey, remember all we have to do!'
What best thing could happen? I'm happy for you.

Not so, but not so far

Who bothers to do it? To be a child (NOW). (From the first conversation, I noticed that you have outgrown child. You spoke too seriously...)
π: 0 β©: 1
Who bothers? everyone who feels that "irrelevant things" are most meaningful things. I mean, who considers the importance of dreams, or get lost in contemplation of clouds, dew drops, ants...
π: 0 β©: 1
But if they need "irrelevant things"? Maybe you should not pay so much attention to them?
π: 0 β©: 1
Sorry if my English is not good. I was trying to say that children eyes are not "formatted". Adult brains were teached to ignore lot of things, lots of details, because they are said useless, "irrelevant", consequently "not serious".
But in my opinion, what is considered "irrelevant" in our civilization is, on the contrary, the most important and the most meaningful. So I want to recover fresh eyes, the faculty of admiration i had as child.
