Mad Copper (2019) Painting by Mercedes Vanpeene

Hello,
I am Mercedes Lafuente, painter installed in Saint Laurent du Var, near Nice, the name of my virtual gallery is Lafuente Acrylic. In love with graphic arts since always, I was a student at the School of Fine Arts in Grenoble and with the painter Michel Joyard, my universe is between color and movement. In my painting that I think feminine and joyous, I often use glitter and other metallic effects, it brings the brilliance that reflects the world and a certain part of childhood that I apply myself to preserve.
My work is spontaneous, it arises from a thought. I imagine first an emotion, an idea and the colors are posed or more exactly cast in fluid art. Often for the best and the pleasure of the greatest number, I tell stories in color through my paintings. Depending on the weather, events or meetings my inspiration feeds images because I like what moves and changes. Today more "flashy" or in search of a certain mineral illusion, my art is just like the people, in constant evolution. Sometimes more figurative, often more abstract, I like that everyone can see what he wants according to his own interpretation, this is why my paintings are usually signed on the back to allow the buyer a free positioning according to the orientation that will inspire him the most.
