Yves Dimier
« The inks of Yves Dimier create the link between imaginary and figurative, by entering in the purity, in search of the perfect gesture »
The dialectic of inks
« I consider my brush as a committed tool to serve beauty, support awakening and self-elevation. »
I feel fully invested in my role when I seek, through all the deep subtleties of this discipline of Eastern Calligraphy, to instill the vital momentum. The emerging works belong to the last layer of the present which, like the dead wood of Halevy, « supports the life of the cambium where all the buds of life deafen. »
I consider my brush as a committed tool to serve beauty, support awakening and self-elevation. In all my experiences of the trait I act with respect and benevolence, going as far as possible to make visible the links I create with the world.
My work is committed to women, against all forms of violence. He commits himself in the same way to nature and helps to reposition man in the hierarchy of the living.
« Calligraphy leads you to search for a truth »
