Gildas is one of the first people I met through MySpace and the first time I laid my eyes on his work was pure fascination! And since GWL Graphisme was the first feature in the EyeCandies Art Section, I thought it would be a nice idea to host an interview with my talented friend from France, celebrating our blog’s first year online! Are you ready to be amazed? ;)
Welcome to EyeCandies Gildas! You were the first artist to be featured in the Art Section and I’m very happy to host your interview now – especially as we’re celebrating the blog’s first “birthday”. How did your creative journey begin? When and how did you realize that illustration was the main thing you’d go after?
Hi Aphrodite! Thanks for this nice birthday invitation :)
It’s very pleasant as I do remember well our first messages on MySpace few years ago.
My creative journey began around the age of 10, with comic strips. This tool was perfect for my imagination. Then drawing, that first was just a way to tell stories, quickly became something more fascinating. As i was growing I became interested by the power of suggestion of a picture, the way it creates, in the viewer’s mind, a springboard to its own imagination; and in other ways, very personal emotions. I experienced other ways, like paintings and photography, but finally it’s the informatics tools that really feed my creation, allowing me to pass through my gaps, through the lack of time, to finally find my way in this big kitchen where I mix both drawings and pictures.
