Leptosome2025



Leptosome, a term coined by Ernst Kretschmer, is used to designate an elongated morphology. The word implies length and finesse of form. According to Ernst, this type of physique correlates with a personality more or less at odds with reality.

It's from this etymology that my “Leptosome” series was born, a series that aims to visually treat the relationship between the lanky aspect and the limit of reality. This is achieved through long silhouettes unstructured in height, and characters on the borderline of realism.
