Véronique Guillet / painter
Artistic approach
“The canvas as a blank page. The brush or the knife as a pen. A simple color idea as a primer. And then everything happens and is transformed, deconstructed and rebuilt, otherwise. So history writes itself. A clumsy gesture, an accident can be enough to give life, to give meaning. Painting to tell life. Painting to express oneself, to free oneself, to exist. To exist in the eyes of others, to exist in my own eyes.
My painting is deliberately abstract. I propose without imposing. I let everyone's imagination wander. Thus my work feeds on life, on the travels I have made, but also on human encounters and enchanting discoveries in museums and exhibitions. Likewise, artists such as Nicolas de Staël and Zao Wou Ki inspire and overwhelm me. Living between sea and estuary, the water element fascinates me and often imposes itself in my paintings. I don't really have any favorite themes, however I paint feelings, memories, interior landscapes but also traces of emotions, fleeting and intense. This is why I use acrylic which allows me a lot of spontaneity and freedom in the gesture. I think that each of my works carries something truly authentic and sincere about me, composed of joyful moods and ethereal atmospheres, which I need to express and share. They are most often the reflection of my intimate cartography.
I don't open myself up easily except through my painting where the essence of what I am appears to the eyes of those who take the time to guess me”.
