Si l’on me demandait pourquoi je peins, je dirais que c’est, tout au moins en partie, parce que la peinture donne à voir ce que les mots ont parfois du mal à exprimer.

Alys est mon nom d'artiste. 

J’ai très tôt été attirée par le dessin. Adolescente, j’ai eu l’occasion de suivre un cours du soir sur le pastel et l’utilisation des couleurs propre à cette technique a été pour moi comme une révélation. Je continue à pratiquer le pastel, principalement pour créer des portraits. Par la suite, j’ai découvert l’aquarelle et la peinture à l’huile, ainsi que la peinture au couteau, que j’affectionne particulièrement, étant sensible à la matière. J’ai suivi diverses formations correspondant à ces techniques, en parallèle avec une carrière professionnelle plutôt éloignée du domaine de la peinture. 

Je crois que je peux dire que la peinture m’a toujours accompagnée dans les différentes étapes de ma vie.

Comme beaucoup, j’ai commencé par essayer de reproduire des œuvres d’artistes connus qui me parlaient plus particulièrement, Van Gogh ou Picasso, pour ne citer qu’eux. Puis, progressivement, le besoin d’avoir un modèle à imiter s’est fait moins sentir et j’ai eu envie de créer des compositions plus originales. À l’occasion d’un voyage à Vienne, en Autriche, j’ai découvert l’œuvre d’Egon Schiele Bien que ce que j’essaie de faire soit fort éloigné du côté cru, intense, voire violent de sa peinture, j’ai été fortement impressionnée par la façon dont il s’est libéré des normes de la représentation pour exprimer une sensibilité exacerbée.

C’est peut-être cette découverte qui m’a poussée, plus récemment, vers le langage de l’abstraction. Tout en m’inspirant du monde qui m’entoure, j’essaie de mettre les formes et les couleurs au service des émotions que je désire exprimer et que j’aimerais faire partager.
