Le titre de cette toile est minutieusement choisi : j'aurai pu l'appeler "le bain", par exemple, mais j'ai préféré attirer l'attention sur l'objet plutôt que sur l'action. Pour moi, cette scène est une sorte d'hallucination, d'apparition. On ne sait pas vraiment si une fille se cache dans la baignoire. L'endroit ne ressemble pas à une salle de bain typique : tout est dénué de décoration, il n'y a pas de fenêtre, de serviette, de savon, ni même d'eau... Le lieu a l'air abandonné. Cette dichotomie, je la voulais en adéquation avec la façon dont cette toile est née. J'ai eu l'idée d'une baignoire avec uniquement des jambes alors que je me trouvais chez ma grand mère, avec mes parents. En regardant la télévision, j'ai eu un flash, comme une image subliminale. Ca a duré quelques secondes mais j'ai gardé dans mon esprit cette vision. Dans mon idée de départ, il s'agissait d'un cadavre abandonné dans une baignoire mais je laisse au spectateur une grande liberté sur l'histoire qui souhaite se raconter.

Born in 1988 in Oise, Annabelle has been painting canvases and writing books since childhood. In the family, no one practices an artistic, musical or sporting activity. What matters in this environment is above all university studies to have, at the end, a "real" job.
So Annabelle obeys and climbs the ladder: degree in art history and archeology in Amiens, Master in Sciences of Antiquity in Lille, then, finally, the last stage: a doctorate in Greek archeology which she obtains in 2017. However, during her research, she did not stop painting and even exhibiting whenever she had the opportunity. At the end of her thesis defence, she informed her jury: no, she would not embark on research but would attempt an artistic career.
The difficult issue of identity, duality and inner conflict is at the heart of Annabelle's thinking. Whether it is the injunction made to women (on their physique, their activities or their social status) or the personal evolution in our society (where the norm is still the only model and where the difference is stifled), the question is then the same: how to make our deep convictions coincide with the world around us? How can we assert our identity without feeling judged? Can we remain ourselves, flourish, knowing that we are constantly influenced by society, the eyes of others, social networks, money or even success?
Eco-feminist and anti-conformist, Annabelle draws from her personal history these two-speed anxieties, torn between her deep convictions and the current norm. She then analyzes her own life course and delivers an almost autobiographical gallery on the canvas: if none of the characters really resemble her, they nevertheless evoke all her concerns, her conflicts, the people she has met as well as different moments of her life. life.
