A quoi pensait le modèle vivant pendant que l'artiste l'immortalisait à l'aide de pastels ? Le regarde de la femme est perdue dans des idées personnelles, sa bouche est marquée par une sorte de rejet, de dégoût. Ses pensées se mirent sur son visage. A moins que ce ne soit pas le fait d'afficher sa nudité... non semble-t-il car sa posture est étrangement relaxante, son corps est décontracté en position assise, une jambe repliée vers le torse. On bras gauche appuyé sur le genou et la main relâchée dénotent une décontraction. Son corps et son visage n'affichent pas les mêmes expressions... d'où le titre de l'œuvre "Claire obscure". A nous de la décrypter.

Cette œuvre est un exemplaire unique ; elle est signée par l'artiste. Un certificat d'authenticité sera délivré.

What was the living model thinking while the artist immortalised her with pastels? The woman's gaze is lost in ideas of her own, her mouth is marked by a kind of rejection, of disgust. Her thoughts were on her face. Unless it is not the display of her nudity... no it seems because her posture is strangely relaxing, her body is relaxed in a sitting position, one leg bent towards her chest. His left arm resting on his knee and his hand relaxed indicate a relaxed attitude. Her body and face do not show the same expressions... hence the title of the work "Claire obscure". It is up to us to decipher it.

This work is a unique copy; it is signed by the artist. A certificate of authenticity will be issued.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.

Marijo Ponce Fest

France

Maria Josefa was born in Tangiers in 1946 after her parents, Spanish republicans, left their country after the civil war and moved to Morocco. She grew up in a cosmopolitan environment and was nourished by the colours and lights of Africa.

When she was eleven, her family returned to Europe and settled in France. Little by little, the artistic fibre emerges in parallel with her professional activities. A very short period in the aesthetic field allowed her to acquire the touch and sensitivity of the body. Nevertheless, the perceptible lack of human beings was quickly felt and Marijo naturally turned to the elderly, bringing her sensitivity to bodies steeped in experience.

Taking on her affect, exacerbating her emotions while mixing her Andalusian origins, painting and sculpture allow her to retranscribe the strength, vivacity and pain of her roots. It is only since her retirement that Marijo can fully dedicate herself to her artistic passion.

She presents her work at local exhibitions and participates in workshops while continuing to look after her family, with whom she shares her knowledge and love of art.

She then creates an anthology of creations in the form of paintings, drawings in watercolour, acrylic, pastels and charcoal of naked bodies in order to capture their emotions and translate them into expressive lines. The clay modelling gives a new way to translate his vision of the emotion felt towards his living models.

In search of a spontaneity and vitality that she makes sensitive through her brushstrokes, she does not hesitate to tell the story of these bodies - imperfect, twisted, aged - through which fragments of her own history shine through, through her paintings and the work of the clay with her sculptures.
