This man, Mr. Ract-Madoux, his Master, added to it the taste for perseverance, the passion for this rigorous technique in order not to betray anything.

Yet the Talent was not chosen as master of life. The years go by. Certain encounters shake, mark, encourage. Until Marie-Noëlle Métel found this momentum once broken down.

​

She then reconnects with this Talent she had to do without. He waited, confident, faithful, intact, quick to guide his hand, now accompanying her passions, offering to express them with that freedom so prized that the mastery of the line is authorized .

​

The work then falls in love with the duality between shadow and light, strength and beauty, ardor and gentleness, power and fragility.
