Each creation begins with a phase of research and documentation on the model, its origins, its designers, but also on its technical aspects.

Archives reveal original sketches of the continental bentley, highlighting the design and engineering process that gave birth to this emblematic car. The technical drawings detail key innovations, in particular the engine developed by Bentley Motors, as well as the structure of the body designed to combine lightness and robustness.

Bentley drawing

The artist has developed a unique artistic approach to tell the story of the creation of the continental bentley through his oil paintings. His distinctive style skillfully mixes the technical precision of the line drawing, which captures details and contours with great finesse, the richness and depth of the colors of the oil, which bring life and emotion to each canvas. Each brushstroke is carefully applied to capture the very essence of the continental bentley, reflecting its prestige and refinement.

The whole process, from initial research to the final realization of the work, asks the artist about two weeks to reach a level of perfection and sophistication worthy of the heritage of the continental bentley.
