Contrairement à un portrait classique je ne cherche pas à flatter l'apparence, je cherche à dénuer le corps des artifices pour atteindre la nature profonde de l'être humain, ses travers et ses doutes.
Pour cela les traits sont volontairement déformés, appuyés ou diffus, il faut toucher le spectateur immédiatement, du premier coup d'oeil, ce tableau doit être une évidence.

"Albertine" n'est pas spécialement sympathique mais terriblement sexy, ses grands yeux et sa petite bouche en font quelqu'un qui veut tout prendre et ne rien donner.
J'aurai pu la nommer "La manipulatrice", elle cache et même temps elle montre tout. Comme pour "Divine" ce personnage est captivant et prend vie dans la pénombre.
Les couleurs, les rehausses, les formes, la présence, dans cette oeuvre tout est beau. Un achat intelligent.

Consciente qu'il s'agit pour beaucoup d'entre vous d'un coup de coeur, mais également d'un investissement dans le temps:
- Ce tableau est réalisé sur du papier haut de gamme sans acide et de fabrication française.
- Les pastels utilisés sont composés de pigments de haute qualité, ce qui vous offre une durabilité certaine de l'oeuvre dans le temps.
- L'oeuvre est signée sur le devant et à l'arrière.
- Vous recevrez un certificat d'authenticité signé par l'artiste attestant qu'il s'agit d'un original et d'une oeuvre unique.
- L'oeuvre est expédiée soigneusement protégée et assurée, avec un transporteur premium.
- Un numéro de suivi vous sera fourni afin que vous puissiez suivre le colis en temps réel.

Contrary to the way traditional portraits are made, I am not trying here to draw a flattering image of the subject. What I mean to highlight is the need for the body to be rid of its artifices. This is the only manner for the true and deep nature of human beings to be revealed with their shortcomings and inner doubts.
In order to convey this impression to the viewer, I deliberately drew strong, deformed and erratic-looking features. Consequently, this painting should be viewed as an evidence.
Albertine is not particularly friendly nor terribly sexy. With her big eyes and small mouth, she looks like someone intent on getting everything she wants, without ever giving anything in return. I could have entitled the painting ‘The Manipulator’. She is both showing and hidding everything. Like ‘Divine’ she is a captivating character who emerges out of darkness. The colours, the highlights, the shapes and the sheer presence inherent in this artwork are a pure delight. Everything is beautiful with this clever acquisition.

Professional painter since 2003, she practiced pastel for 15 years, sold more than 6,000 portraits on the spot and on order, a very strict profession, the line must be precise, millimetered. In parallel with her activity as a portraitist, she wanted to approach the pastel tool by using only the edge of it, this was the beginning of her “Experimental Portrait” series. No more construction lines, no more limits, the pastel thus laid and not smoothed is extremely pleasing, there is a primitive side to this method, a return to the essential. This will lead her to oil painting with a knife and a large brush, she discovers the pleasure of painting and sculpting the material.

She invented her “Millefiori” technique which she describes in her book “oil painting, painting without sketching” released in 2019 which is sold in France, as well as in bookstores, New York (Librairie Albertine), Canadian (Librairie Archambault) and all over the world. These paintings are composed like a symphony, each touch of color is a note which must agree with the others to compose a harmony, it sometimes gives birth to a landscape, a portrait, or a still life, paintings full of colors and good humor.

She continues to explore graphic possibilities, scratches, superimpositions. She strives to represent and transmit feelings before the real appearance of things, to break the codes to shake up and above all never leave people indifferent. His work, until now inspired by impressionism, is gradually evolving towards the abstract figurative.

Active on social networks, his YouTube channel now has more than 900,000 views.

< p>She has been recognized and rewarded several times during national and international competitions.

She is supported in her work by the trust of her clients, today her works can be found among collectors in Germany, in Russia, Taiwan as well as with French collectors.
