Jumpei Mikami - JAPAN/FRANCE

"In the creative process of the black engraving that I have chosen, I seek, through this technique, to show my singularity in the creation of light. The atmosphere that emerges from my animal engravings tends to highlight the state in which the animal is at a specific moment. It detects the surrounding smells, it detects the presence of its congénères, it smells the human presence, it breathes, it thinks... I want to train the amateur and the viewer to imagine for himself what emanates from the print beyond the quality of the line and the color of black and gray."
