Bernadette Wijas

Levis Saint Nom, France
Artist (Painting, Sculpture)
Born 1951

My first steps as a painter, my learning of color, I do them on porcelain. But this very technical painting, very long in the development, requiring successive firings, waiting, does not correspond to my temperament. After a few years of practice, I change support and material, and I undertake my first oil paintings. Student of the Martenot school, intern of Jean Louis Carricondo, I discover a new technique.

Oil painting allowed me to be more spontaneous, to obtain a quick result, while keeping the possibility of evolving the painting according to my desires.
I like simple and geometric shapes, and especially the mixture of colors.

On a colored background, I sketch a stylized subject, I apply the colors, combining marriages and contrasts. Then, I make color highlights with a knife, I apply mediums to highlight certain places on the canvas. And I finish by surrounding certain objects in the painting with a trailard.
My favorite subjects are undergrowth, portraits or scenes of life.
