Metamorphose: of the Greek méta = beyond, and morphê = form. Change of a form in another. Important transformation of the body and the way of life of certain animals at the time of their development. Change of the state and character of a person. Transformation. Change.

The Metamorphoses are the main works of the Latin poet Ovide (43 front. J.C.-17 ap. J.C.). It is a long poem which chronologicals a great number of greek myths and particularly fabulations relating to the characters who suffer from the metamorphoses.

Metamorphosis is an attempt at interpretation of these myths with a current eye through a series of drawings. Transformation, change, metamorphosis are concepts on the agenda in a world which becomes more than ever dubious and changing. In this personal interpretation of the metamorphoses ovidiennes there are two opposite and complementary routes.

On the one hand the mythological "real" characters, whose names sometimes given the scientific name (in Latin) of the animal or the plant object of the metamorphosis (p. ex. Nisos or Nisus, metamorphosed into a sparrowhawk, remained in the scientific name of this animal: accipiter nisus). In the other direction the scientific name of an animal or plant can give place to the creation of a mythological character "unreal" of which a new history should be invented.
