Coline
A little sweetness in this world of brutes
“art made simple”. This little sentence expresses exactly what I feel when I paint. No shell, nor superfluous; I am me and only me facing my canvas. Above all, I don't want to change this way of seeing things; you have to stay humble to continue to evolve and I still have a lot to learn...
I paint in oil and acrylic.
As far as my artistic motivations are concerned, they have largely evolved: I first started with the figurative, orienting myself more towards Provençal landscapes or by painting simple scenes of life. At that time, I had the idea of making trompe l'oeil effects by painting false frames and then I “fell” (that's really the word) into the abstract when I became a mother. As if the birth of my daughter had caused a click…!
Impossible today to lock up my paintings, they have to breathe on the contrary! Let them live! Freedom must spring from it. When I discovered the abstract, I took it as a revelation: impossible to stop, as if my hand was painting without my guiding it! I take it as an evolution.
I work a lot on emotion; I try to transmit the values and the feelings which animate me but always in the joy. I can't paint if I'm depressed. Color is essential to me, it must be cheerful, dazzling, full of life and light.
It's like in my life: if the color is there everything is fine! Sadness and monotony have no place in my house.
And since I feel a bit like a child when I paint: in addition to abstract paintings, I also address children, always in my aerial style.
I like to play with contrasts, materials. I want to transmit my passion when I paint, this freedom, to be able to create, to imagine. There is neither limit nor constraint in painting and in addition it is when you want where you want. It totally matches my personality. I never tire.

L'art en toute simplicité.....
Cette petite phrase explique exactement ce que je ressens. Je pense qu'il faut rester simple quand on peint.
Depuis toute petite j'éprouve un grand plaisir à dessiner. Je me souviens que le dessin était pour moi un moyen de me détendre avant les examens...J'ai peint ma première toile à 21 ans.
Née dans le Var en novembre 1972, je suis une jeune adepte de la peinture à l'huile et aux pastels ; j'en apprends tous les jours un peu plus. Ce que j'aime dans la peinture ? c'est ce coté libre que l'on a , la possibilité de laisser un tableau en suspend et de le reprendre un mois après si l'on veut. Cela colle parfaitement à ma personnalité..
Mon inspiration ? Je la puise directement de notre mère nature sous toutes ses formes ; si belle et changeante selon ses humeurs ou ses saisons. Ce qui m'importe c'est de faire passer une émotion dans une scène ou un mouvement... Les couleurs me fascinent, c'est pour cela, que j'adore mêler personnages et paysages.
Maman depuis peu, j'ai déjà une manière différente d'aborder un tableau comme si je pouvais transmettre ma joie et ma plénitude...
L'abstrait est devenu un bon moyen de l'exprimer.
N'hésitez pas à me contacter par mail pour me donner votre avis sur mon travail, et mettre un petit mot sur mon livre d'or.
Et si un tableau vous plait, je me ferai un plaisir de vous en dire plus.
A bientôt sur le net..
