Virginie Le Roy

le palais, France
Artist (Painting, Drawing)
Born 1975

At the age of eight, I find myself facing a painting representing a child from Guyana in tears, in front of a lush jungle. It was obvious: when I grew up, I wanted to paint like that. After this revelation, I paint tirelessly, I learn about the history of art, I discover the great masters…. First, DALI, then the Impressionists, Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec, Monet, Renoir….

I paint in oil and am inspired by the greatest…. Botticelli, Lippi, Da Vinci…..Little by little, I learn, I paint Brittany, Africa, Asia…..
In 2000, I found myself settled in Belle Ile en Mer where I live with my partner and my four children.
In 2018, I spent a year in Marie Galante, immersed myself in its lights, its colors, Creole culture.

After having reproduced paintings while looking for my style, I like to paint animals, scenes of world culture, portraits showing that all cultures, all peoples are beautiful, all men has a dignity: children, old....women.....

Of course, I like to work on the main themes of painting:

- The sea which will remain a mystery all my life as it is changing, the reflections of the sky, its color, the lights, the movements..........the sea which reassures me and shows me that all is not that perpetual change.

- Skin, faces, bodies....How to work on volumes, lights, movement, feelings, softness, love, freedom? Painting a look, a mouth, hands confronts me with the difficulty. I like that painting can be a testimony of life, of cultures, of history.

I like to paint with a few paintbrushes and brushes that allow me to lay the color that I take directly from the tube, I do little mixing and prefer to have tubes of paints of many shades. I sometimes work with a knife. I dilute my colors a little and like to work with thickness like sugar cane, the hair of Botticelli's Venus...the waves.........

I'm trying today& #039; today to compose and create paintings with themes like the culture of the cane at Marie Galante, the Indians at the waterfall....I liked to compose a painting tribute to the song of Lulu.. ..

Painting when you are a woman unfortunately remains a struggle.........Since I was little, I have been shocked by the place that man has left to women in the world. in history, in art. I was telling my mom, mom, I want to be the first famous woman! So few of them have been able to gain recognition like Camille CLAUDEL, Chrysis, Berthe Morisot
