M’elle Amy (2019) Painting by Annie Predal

Amateur painter for more than 20 years, I bathed in the atmosphere of painters' studios from a very young age. My father (also a painter) sometimes took me with him. However, the passion for painting did not manifest itself in me until much later in adulthood. She never left me again. To paint is to give life, to one's life, a return to one's inner self. To paint is to expose oneself to everyone's gaze, it is sometimes to reveal oneself shamelessly. But painting is above all a solitary adventure. One paints above all for oneself before painting for others. If it was the other way around then I would lose all reason for creativity.

Over the years my painting has evolved, today mixing various media (collage, stencils, ink, spray paint, markers, etc.). It remains a figurative painting.

A certain number of my works are present in various collections in France as well as abroad.
