Interview lors d'une manifestation culturelle ou l'art dans les jardins, à Courseulles sur mer dans le Calvados, en juin 2014
un peu de moi...
Mon but est de m'échapper peu à peu du figuratif total et d'évoluer vers un semi-abstrait en travaillant davantage sur les volumes et les vibrations de la lumière.
My goal is to escape to me little by little from the figurative total and to evolve to semi-abstract while working more on volumes and the vibrations of the light.
Article
J'ai toujours été attirée par l'art sous toutes formes..
... "fantasque, bohème et instable" m'a-on qualifiée depuis mon plus jeune âge, on dirait ton grand-père... un grand-père pianiste et dessinateur, que j'ai à peine connu.
Est-ce donc vrai que l'artiste a du mal à se fixer, est un hypersensible qui cache ses désarrois dans ses créations? "Tout acte de création passe par une destruction", disait Picasso.
Le dessin a toujours été, depuis ma toute petite enfance, mon activité première avec celle de la lecture. Quel bonheur de se retrouver seule face à la page blanche et à mes crayons et d'inventer un monde à soi.
Ce besoin de créativité, de dessiner a perduré, adulte. Ayant failli perdre la vue vers 30 ans, comme une gageure, je me suis décidée à suivre des cours de dessin et c'est tout naturellement que je me suis tournée vers le pastel et la peinture. De tempérament solitaire, j'ai d'abord travaillé dans le secret de mon atelier avant d'oser "m'exposer au monde". Ce pas franchi, j'y ai trouvé beaucoup d'enrichissement personnel tant auprès d'artistes amis que de personnes de tous horizons sensibles à la création.
L'expression artistique est un véritable don de soi... qui nous aide dans notre cheminement intérieur malgré les embûches qui peuvent jalonner notre chemin... Il faut savoir donner pour pouvoir recevoir en échange.
I was always attracted by art in all forms. ... "odd, Bohemian and unstable" one qualified me since my youth, one would tell to your grandfather... a grandfather pianist and draughtsman, whom I hardly knew. Is this thus true that the artist has evil to fix himself, is hypersensitive which hides its distresses in its creations? "Any act of creation passes by a destruction", said Picasso. The drawing always was, since my very early childhood, my activity first with that of the reading. Which happiness to find themselves only vis-a-vis the white page and with my pencils and to invent a world with oneself. This need for creativity, to draw perduré, adult. Having failed to lose the sight at age the 30 years, like a gageure, I decided to follow courses of drawing and it is quite naturally that I turned to the pastel and painting. Of solitary temperament, I initially worked in the secrecy of my workshop before daring "to expose me to the world". This crossed step, I found there much personal enrichment as well near friendly artists as people of all horizons sensitive to creation. The artistic expression is a true gift of oneself... which helps us in our interior advance in spite of the obstacles which can mark out our way... It is necessary to know to give to be able to receive in exchange.
