From the Shut Your Aperture archive (2014): the artist’s original description of this series is preserved below as a statement from that time, not a new interview.
Photography meets drawing
The sketch of a life, Photography Series by Sébastien DEL GROSSO.
The sketch of a life – Since my childhood, drawing has always been a passion, but when I discovered photography, I thought that the combination of these two passions would allow me to give free rein to my imagination.
Since forever, I guess, and I draw things before they become reality: I drew eg management plans of my apartment before I install, or in my work, I draws the products I have to imagine, before conceiving.
In this series “The sketch of a life”, I wanted to illustrate my life, like my sketches gave birth to each of his actions or by the intervention of someone I are close (for example in “sketch your mentor” with the intervention of my grandmother who taught me in the drawing), or events that have been important to me (like in “sketch the life” with the birth my daughter “Cataleya”), but also with something a little more humorous (in “Catch & Sketch” for example with the intervention of my friend Cal Redback, or in “sketch and fight” with a battle of two artists with each his technique)
