Lion Print

I'm Orlando. Originally hailing from Paris, I've since made Japan my home after spending considerable time in Barcelona. Despite my background in law and political science, my passion ultimately led me down the path of writing and drawing. Art has always captivated me, particularly the intricate nuances of Japanese visual culture, including their renowned prints, which significantly influenced my decision to delve into drawing. My self-taught artistic journey spans over a decade now, shaped by my experiences in Japan and my affinity for storytelling through lines, capturing the simplicity and beauty of everyday life. I find immense joy in sketching from the photographs I capture during my travels. Whether through bold strokes of black ink accentuated with watercolors to breathe life into my subjects or through the serene elegance of monochrome tones, my work is always characterized by meticulous attention to detail. Paper holds a special place in my creative process, serving as my primary medium. I'm deeply enamored with its subtle texture and unparalleled precision. My tools range from black felt pens to Indian ink, while I employ the dry watercolor technique to infuse vibrant hues into my compositions. The paintings and drawings showcased on this platform are available for purchase, and I welcome inquiries for more detailed views before making a selection. Thank you for visiting, and I hope you find delight in exploring my artistic endeavors.
