Lumière d'orage est un hommage à Soulages.
Je souhaitais montrer que le noir n'est pas sombre et prend vie avec la lumière.
Lumière d'orage est un tableau uniquement fait avec du noir ; les matériaux utilisés (sable, lave, verre, filament de verre et bitume, acrylique) reflètent la lumière différemment et le tableau s'illumine.

Avez-vous déjà observé cette fraction de seconde, la nuit sur la mer, juste après un éclair ? ce court moment où vous êtes aveuglé ?

Le phénomène de se sentir temporairement aveuglé après avoir été exposé à une lumière intense, comme un éclair, est souvent décrit comme une éblouissement ou une cécité temporaire par éblouissement. Cela se produit lorsque la lumière vive surstimule les photorécepteurs de la rétine, entraînant une baisse temporaire de la vision jusqu'à ce que l'œil s'ajuste ou se rétablisse de l'exposition intense. Ce n'est pas un état permanent, mais cela peut être déconcertant et nécessite quelques secondes pour que la vision revienne à la normale. on distingue toutefois le spectre de la mer, des vagues et des éclairs.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Lacquer

Paint made with a resin from tree sap, various shrubs or with lacquer paints based on thermosetting resins. The technique consists in superimposing layers of lacquers with a vigorous polishing between each layer. It is mostly smooth shiny, but can sometimes also be satin or very Matt.

Pigments

Paint made with colored powder suspended in a liquid binder to obtain some paint or ink.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Diane Breton, a contemporary French painter, was born in 1975 in Rueil-Malmaison. Initially trained in classical artistic techniques at the Rueil-Malmaison School of Fine Arts, Diane began her artistic journey by painting figuratively. Alongside her artistic pursuits, she pursued general studies and obtained a degree in psychology in 2002.

However, it was in 2015 that Diane experienced a profound transformation in her artistic practice. Feeling constrained by the limitations of representing the visible world in a realistic manner, she embarked on a new artistic path, freeing herself from the confines of photographic representation. This marked a shift towards a more expressive and emotive style, where her paintings became imbued with deeper meaning and emotion.

As a material painter, Diane works with a diverse array of mediums, including acrylic paint, sand, earth, glass, bitumen, and wood. Her artworks are characterized by rich textures and volumes, each element contributing to the narrative of the piece.

Diane's artistic approach combines psychological exploration with expressive brushstrokes and a carefully curated color palette. Through her abstract landscapes, she invites viewers to reflect and embark on a journey of emotional discovery, while still providing familiar forms and moments of life to anchor the viewer's experience.

With each brushstroke and material application, Diane delves into psychological depths, capturing moments of emotional connection with nature and evoking memories and emotions within the viewer. Her paintings strike a delicate balance between reality and abstraction, inviting viewers to navigate between the familiar and the unknown, between tangible moments of life and infinite emotional horizons.
