From sketching to carving to printing, each step is fascinating and requires meticulousness, calm and concentration. It reminds me once again of the Japanese craftsmanship that I particularly like. You have to feel the material, analyze the textures, listen to the sound of the ink to obtain the desired result. Despite this, each print has its own peculiarities and imperfections that make it unique. That’s what I like about it too, each print has its own story.

It is thus quite naturally that I created with my wife Japanese-linocut.com, where I sell my creations in limited edition and on request. My inspirations are obvious and come from my travels in Japan. When I am on site, I try to soak up the atmosphere of the places I visit, and try to reproduce them in linocuts. These creations full of experience have a lot of meanings for me and bring back emotions and sensations that I was nourished by when I was in Japan. Over the years, we have built strong ties with this country and our Japanese friends. We have had many rewarding experiences such as being a host family for Japanese students for a few years. More great opportunities to learn more about this culture that we are so passionate about.

My wife Sophie and I share the same love and passion for this magnificent country that is Japan and we also own a website on Japanese cuisine that we particularly like.

“Like François, I have always been attracted to art and Japan.”

We met during our studies in art school where I could also learn and master different drawing techniques that I will use on specific creations. During this creative period, we nurtured our project to travel to Japan and cultivated our love for this beautiful country. Being both students of art history as well, we took the opportunity to deepen our knowledge and broaden our influences. We are passionate about Japanese culture as a whole and are particularly interested in landscapes, Japanese art, architecture, textiles and tattoos…

After launching www.cuisine-japon.fr and japan-taste.com a few years ago and seeing how much people love the site, we wanted to share something more personal through our creations, so we decided to create Japanese Linocut together.

My role is to accompany François in his approach and his creativity. I will also be there to carefully pack each of her creations and to accompany you in your order and keep you informed of their evolution.

Do not hesitate to contact us for any other request such as a partnership, an estimate or a specific realization.
