fleur digitale 1 (2019) Digital Arts by Claude Conte

Claude Conte felt very early on the need to create and the taste for pictorial works. In 1977, to satisfy her desire for knowledge in this field, she pushes the doors of the School of Plastic Arts of Narbonne where she follows the courses from 1978 to 1986 under the benevolent gaze of two artists: William Moulin and Roland Grill. She will gradually try out different techniques: watercolor, charcoal, sanguine, acrylic paint, and take pleasure in painting or drawing various subjects: still lifes, in situ landscapes, characters, portraits.

It is in prestigious museums that she recharges her batteries and feeds her imagination by contemplating Chagall or Monet's water lilies. Letting yourself be carried away by Matisse's dance or wondering about Magritte's imagination is exhilarating, as is investing in the worlds of Andy Warhol or Lichtenstein. Locally, she visits the hamlet of the lake in Sigean, the vacuum cleaner in Narbonne and the exhibitions of regional artists.

She will take part in the creation of an Arts Festival to Coursan who animated the city from 1994 to 1997, then to the life of the association Aux Z'Arts in this same city from 2002 to 2004.

At the beginning, his artistic career was exclusively focused on watercolour: "still life with eschsoltzias" is a first work. Then, she will work the oil paint in thickness, with a spatula, then will be born 'musicians', an example of this experience. She creates "breathes" in calligraphy then discovers digital art and it is a new happiness. The latter puts within her reach a disproportionate range of tools to wander towards unknown horizons, to feel and offer new emotions.

In 2020, she does not abandon the digital arts but, resumes her brushes as well as acrylic or oil, to paint flowers and musicians. She sees digital art as an opportunity to give another dimension to the works she creates.
