Nuit de hala (2023) Painting by Elma Colors_and_famous

I grew up surrounded by wild nature and landscapes. From a young age, I was fascinated by the bright colors, simple shapes and stories hidden in every element of my environment.
Having never had formal training in art, I discovered my passion for painting self-taught. Armed with some rudimentary brushes and a few cans of paint, I began bringing my visions to life on simple burlap.
My artistic style is imbued with naivety and spontaneity. I draw my inspiration from the memories of my childhood, the folk tales passed down from generation to generation, as well as the dreams and fantasies that inhabit my imagination.
Each painting I create is a joyful exploration of color, shape and movement. My characters seem to come straight out of a fantasy world, where animals talk, trees dance and clouds take strange shapes.
Despite my lack of academic training, I have had the chance to see my works exhibited in local and international galleries. For me, art is not just about technique, but a pure expression of the soul, a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers.
Today, I continue to paint with the same joy and innocence that animated my first brushstrokes. Every day is a new adventure, an opportunity to discover new artistic horizons and to share my unique vision of the world with those who are ready to listen.
