Ionization

New version of the periodic table of elements. After a reinterpretation of the first version of the Mendeleïev table, this time I used a classification of the elements by energy of first ionization.

The abscissa of the graph is the atomic number (Z) and the ordinate the energy in electronvolt (eV).

Some elements are indicated by their symbol written on an embossed square, the others by a simple golden square with the atomic number in Roman numerals.

For the decoration, I used my small arched filigrees and a copy of the traces left by the disintegration of particles in the CERN collider.

Finally, I added some equations used in the field of ionization.

and here is the final result

I was recently commissioned to do a street number in the Art Nouveau style and with my inevitable filigrees. I did the work on paper and with walnut ink, it will then be engraved, probably on metal by people with the necessary laser engraving equipment.

And while I’m on the subject of filigrees, I’d like to take this opportunity to announce a new (and final) online course in french on the subject on 22 & 23 May.

If you want to participate, you can register here.

Again…

A new filigree initial, in the same style as the previous one. A D this time, still 3 cm high, still gold leaf, Payne grey for the letter and Prussian blue for the filigree.

I as in filigree

I’m back to my obsession and present you with the latest one, a Payne grey initial I with a Prussian blue filigree and a few gold dots on the leaf.

And I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you that there are still a few places left for the Filigree 2 course in English on April 10th and 11th.

The letter is 3 centimetres high, a little bit more than my usual small initials.

Evening gold

Personal interpretation of the first lines of the novel Vol de Nuit by Antoine de Saint Exupéry, in Art Nouveau lettering, watercolour and gilding on paper.

Monogram

It’s been a long time since I posted filigrees…

Here is a monogram made for a commission to make a tattoo (I think it’s going to be painful).

The overall design is 15cm in diameter, acrylic paint on paper.

And, if you wonder how to make things like that, there are 2 new online courses scheduled. Check this page to get more information & register.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

As Mary Poppins said…

And here is a new version of this beautiful word.

Also, the occasion for me to announce a new online course on Art Nouveau, again based on the lettering of the magazine VER SACRUM.

This course will be online and in English on February 6 and 7, 2021.

Things will get better

We hope so!
And so I wish you, a little in advance, a

And, for those of you who haven’t made your Christmas cards yet, there are still a few places left for the Art Nouveau for New Year’s Eve class on December 28.

Variations

I’ve been very busy lately with my online courses and I haven’t had much time to create new works even if I have (as always) lots of projects in my drawers.
To make you wait, here are a few small letters with, for once, a little bit of color (I confess, my palette is limited).
