Les Loups (2011) Painting by Patricia Lejeune

Art is for me a perpetual astonishment, the quest for the perfect work, the search for evidence...

To expose is to expose oneself. The city does not expose itself, it lives.

I bring together the exhibition of my feelings and the language of the city. Language that has been enriched with images of the places where I live, where I have lived, that I have visited and contemplated.

Favelas, old villages, perched...where the houses fit together and reveal multiple passages and nooks full of mystery. In other words, all the vocabulary necessary for the graphic representation of unconscious feelings and dreams.

I am self-taught, I learned a lot by admiring the work of other artists and their way of revealing themselves.

From Staël on the border of the figurative and the impressionists Modigliani, Gauguin moved and inspired me enormously.

For my part, I hope to communicate thanks to my language in the form of vertical stones, and to join the emotion in the eyes of others.
