Banana moon (2022) Painting by Emmanuelle Gaillard

Passionate about painting and drawing since my youngest age, I discovered multiple techniques as a teenager such as pastel, watercolor, gouache, as well as oil painting. #039;oil that I was particularly fond of.

I began to practice by reproducing works by well-known artists whom I admired such as as Mucha, Toulouse-Lautrec, Gauguin, Modigliani, Van Gogh, Picasso...etc, which allowed me to practice while keeping a certain freedom.

It' It was after multiple trips and the need to free myself that I wanted to start creating my own works.

To do this, I dared to start in the abstract which for me seemed to be the most obvious way to express my emotions.

I had the opportunity to discover the practice of the knife with, at the start, a some apprehension, but it's since a real pleasure to have adopted it.

A self-taught artist, I draw my inspiration from the beauty of nature where I remain amazed by my discoveries during my walks and travels. I always look for a light in my color combinations that guides me in my creation and brings some depth to the canvas.

They are abstract, semi-abstract, or even figurative, I always try to convey positive emotions that invite the viewer to daydream and serenity.
