Lease artwork "La Pharmacie Médiévale De Merlin Xii" by Karotte with an option to purchase

I am a baroque character straddling the Belle Époque and the Roaring Twenties, libertarian and cosmopolitan. I am a painter-worker all week.

I was cultivated by a mother history teacher who travels a lot and practices archaeological excavations and by a full-time tough surgeon father. I spent a lot of time in the hospital between the block and the morgue while my mother was planting flowers in sarcophagi with Australians. Before I was 15, I had already traveled a lot and I always had somewhere else in mind with its oriental flavor and traditional music. 039;handling with gloves; Audiard, Fellini, Gavras... In 1991 Creation of Hok'n Koh, a production body for short films and documentaries which died out with the No. 1 family in 2002. Two girls born in 92 and 95. At the same time I am a chorister and I write songs for a jazz rock group: La Girafe. I painted my first sets, for groups from the independent pop-rock scene of the 90s, including Mano Négra, the dilapidated mouse, the sales reps. In 99, in Lille, I joined a collective of artists GUERIA, in a dream factory, the LEM, where collective and personal exhibitions take place, I meet Vinsz, who will become my husband in 2005.

In 2002, I spend a year in a caravan with a Roma family on a wild land north of Lille and participates from the inside in daily life. A documentary will come out of it "Citizen Ruiz". Then back to Nancy, as in "The Alchimist", to my mirabelle plum land. Painting finally becomes my daily free expression, the speaking images of my life, the unmade films can operate freely on their own. In 2012 we saw the beginning of the world in the Peruvian jungle after an epic exhibition in Lima. Painting is the Temple of my identity, just as sacred as it is useless, dedicated to my ancestors, to my line of reference artists, to my line of enlightened philosophers and universal scholars, to my victories and my defeats. , my ideas of the moment, with heart and faith, patience and tenacity, rage and love. Painting pulls me, pushes me to study, to read, to concentration. My interest never dwindles because painting is a misunderstood marvel like a coded message, a poetry to be deciphered, a cry to be heard, an unsaid finally enlightened, a psychoanalysis in colors...no painting can be ;is innocent and mine even less.

Since 2021 I have been living with Vinsz, in an old collector's SG45 bus (1977) fitted out by me and to my taste and with all the modern comforts of the 19th century ...

27 years of daily practice now offer me a total and enjoyable emancipation where everything is allowed to mix, plants and colors, policies and perfumes, soaps and mummy powder, tube of paint and detoxifying spray, Independence and anarchy...I have acquired, as they say, "a paw" which makes me identifiable at first glance, as soft as a claw!
