Au 17ème siècle, en pleine contemplation d’une pomme tombant de sa branche alors qu’il se promène dans un verger, Isaac Newton, philosophe, mathématicien et astronome anglais, s’interroge. Pourquoi la pomme tombe toujours à la perpendiculaire du sol ? Pourquoi la lune ne tombe-t-elle pas sur la terre ? Il déduit donc qu’une force doit sans doute attirer la pomme sur le sol. Il développe alors une théorie concernant cette force qui s’exerce, au-delà de la pomme et de la Terre, entre la Lune et la Terre, et les autres corps célestes.

La théorie de loi universelle de la gravitation est née : « Les astres s'attirent de façon proportionnelle au produit de leur masse et inversement proportionnelle au carré de la distance qui les sépare. »

J’aime utiliser régulièrement la technique du Dripping car il y a une part aléatoire à son usage, sans lien direct entre ma main et la toile, une façon presque inconsciente et involontaire de peindre grâce à la gravité qu’exerce la terre sur un corps, avec tous les défauts et les aléas qui peuvent se présenter. La contrainte peut présenter une opportunité.

Diane Breton, a contemporary French painter, was born in 1975 in Rueil-Malmaison. Initially trained in classical artistic techniques at the Rueil-Malmaison School of Fine Arts, Diane began her artistic journey by painting figuratively. Alongside her artistic pursuits, she pursued general studies and obtained a degree in psychology in 2002.

However, it was in 2015 that Diane experienced a profound transformation in her artistic practice. Feeling constrained by the limitations of representing the visible world in a realistic manner, she embarked on a new artistic path, freeing herself from the confines of photographic representation. This marked a shift towards a more expressive and emotive style, where her paintings became imbued with deeper meaning and emotion.

As a material painter, Diane works with a diverse array of mediums, including acrylic paint, sand, earth, glass, bitumen, and wood. Her artworks are characterized by rich textures and volumes, each element contributing to the narrative of the piece.

Diane's artistic approach combines psychological exploration with expressive brushstrokes and a carefully curated color palette. Through her abstract landscapes, she invites viewers to reflect and embark on a journey of emotional discovery, while still providing familiar forms and moments of life to anchor the viewer's experience.

With each brushstroke and material application, Diane delves into psychological depths, capturing moments of emotional connection with nature and evoking memories and emotions within the viewer. Her paintings strike a delicate balance between reality and abstraction, inviting viewers to navigate between the familiar and the unknown, between tangible moments of life and infinite emotional horizons.
