About this artwork
Eric tried to get to know certain members of his family that he never met by making their portrait based on old photographs he found with partly readable captions in a family album. Oncle Paul was supposed to be in a grave in "Père-Lachaise" in Paris. He looked rather sad, but Eric made him look just a little bit happier in the charcoal he made from him. Somehow oncle Paul looked rather French, maybe because of that caption in the album? This is…

« Art is my life. I can disappear in my drawings and paintings, even in such a way that I later on can be surprised about the result: ‘Did I do this?’ »
