Cette toile ne devait pas ressembler à ça, à la base. Elle devait être entièrement faite de cartes à jouer. Mais j'avais envie de détâcher les bras du reste du corps. J'ai donc ajouté deux autres types de papier : des feuilles d'atlas et des pages d'un magazine Télérama. Ce que j'ai aimé, c'est faire les ombres en[...]
Cette toile ne devait pas ressembler à ça, à la base. Elle devait être entièrement faite de cartes à jouer. Mais j'avais envie de détâcher les bras du reste du corps. J'ai donc ajouté deux autres types de papier : des feuilles d'atlas et des pages d'un magazine Télérama.
Ce que j'ai aimé, c'est faire les ombres en touches nerveuses, grossières, pour rendre la tension du corps, de la position, des muscles.
Les différents types de papier évoquent la divergence d'opinion au sein d'une même personne. Qui n'a jamais été confronté à un moment de sa vie à un choix cornélien, qui ne correspondait pas à ce qu'il pensait auparavant ? Cela m'arrive tout le temps... Je ne suis pas sûre de moi et je me laisse influencer par ce que les autres me disent. Il y a donc ce que je pense et aimerait faire, et l'envie d'entrer dans le moule...

Born in 1988 in Oise, Annabelle has been painting canvases and writing books since childhood. In the family, no one practices an artistic, musical or sporting activity. What matters in this environment is above all university studies to have, at the end, a "real" job.

So Annabelle obeys and climbs the ladder: degree in art history and archeology in Amiens, Master in Sciences of Antiquity in Lille, then, finally, the last stage: a doctorate in Greek archeology which she obtains in 2017. However, during her research, she did not stop painting and even exhibiting whenever she had the opportunity. At the end of her thesis defence, she informed her jury: no, she would not embark on research but would attempt an artistic career.

The difficult issue of identity, duality and inner conflict is at the heart of Annabelle's thinking. Whether it is the injunction made to women (on their physique, their activities or their social status) or the personal evolution in our society (where the norm is still the only model and where the difference is stifled), the question is then the same: how to make our deep convictions coincide with the world around us? How can we assert our identity without feeling judged? Can we remain ourselves, flourish, knowing that we are constantly influenced by society, the eyes of others, social networks, money or even success?

Eco-feminist and anti-conformist, Annabelle draws from her personal history these two-speed anxieties, torn between her deep convictions and the current norm. She then analyzes her own life course and delivers an almost autobiographical gallery on the canvas: if none of the characters really resemble her, they nevertheless evoke all her concerns, her conflicts, the people she has met as well as different moments of her life. life.
