Mathieu Delranc

A photographer and maker based in Provence, I turn my own images into works on canvas and finish each one myself in my studio. I come from a family of painters: my grandfather, my uncle and my mother painted before me, and I grew up surrounded by canvases and brushwork.

From photograph to artwork

1. 01I start from one of my own original photographs.
2. 02I rework it digitally for a painterly rendering, without changing the subject or adding anything that was not there.
3. 03The image is printed on a matte canvas.
4. 04I then raise selected areas of relief by hand with a clear texture gel.
5. 05I apply a satin finish, then sign and number the piece.

Every canvas therefore begins with my photograph, is interpreted digitally and finished by hand.

No exhibitions or awards are claimed at this stage.
