The model for this portrait is a poor quality newspaper photography of small size : 3 x 4 cm printed on poor paper and yet the woman's face illustrating this written article was tremendously expressive. It was enough to suggest a painting. Will i be able to give an account with the painter's means of this strong and positive expression or at least not to betray it? It is about the artist and his model in a world where "model'painting" is no more, in a world where everybody's face is to be seen by everybody, in a world where the artist do not paint anymore in that classic manner. What's the point? Has it a sens to do that? I painted it two years ago. The article was about the Dr Laleh Bakhtiar and more particularly her translation of the Quran. I learn that since then she dies, a news that sadden me.

Jérôme Hémain, a contemporary French artist, found his artistic calling driven by a profound exploration of themes encompassing the cosmos, vitality, energetic fields, rhythm, growth, states of minds, evolution, self-control, harmony, and balance among the elements. This thematic richness forms the core of his creative vision, guiding his expressive journey into the intricacies of existence.
Having earned a BA and an MA of art from the Royal College of Arts and Design in London, Hémain initially dedicated himself to sculpture in free open spaces. This commitment laid the foundation for his artistic identity, infusing his practice with a tangible connection to the physical world. His transition to abstract painting marked a continuation of his inclination toward "making things," embedding the process of creation within the realm of painting.
In a more recent evolution of his artistic approach, Hémain has embraced figurative painting, drawn to its political resonance and the imperative to respond in a concrete manner to the complexities of contemporary times. This shift reflects his commitment to engaging with the world through his art, using figurative elements to convey messages and reflections on the socio-political landscape.
Jérôme Hémain's artistic journey is a dynamic exploration of form, concept, and socio-political engagement, weaving together the abstract and the figurative to create a nuanced and compelling body of work that reflects his evolving perspectives on the world.
