Acrylic painting made from a 5x2.5 meter graffiti created in 1991 by Birgit Kinder on the east side of the Berlin Wall shortly after its destruction. The mural represents a Trabant (the artist's) emblematic car of East Germany, crossing the wall. This one seems to be shattered. The Trabant leaves a dark space (the east) to go towards the light (the west). On the license plate is indicated the date of the opening of the wall. We do not distinguish the driver, just his silhouette, so that everyone can identify with him. Today, only 1.3 kilometers of the wall has been preserved, covered over its entire length by various frescoes, symbolizing messages of peace and brotherhood,

Véronique Colin is a contemporary French artist in constant evolution, she never stops discovering and exploring different techniques, which she develops until she masters them with precision without losing her extreme sensitivity. Pen, ink, collage, oil painting are all disciplines that she masters in turn without ever neglecting a single one.

It is with acrylic that she now produces works with often tight framing, with a composition based on simple but precise geometric shapes and flat areas of color. We can then appreciate a more or less marked graphic simplification, sometimes going as far as an abstraction. We often recognize varied influences ranging from Italian Renaissance painting, through cubism to arrive at street art. Drapes, colors, lights, composition catch the eye to arouse emotion.

Véronique Colin was born in 1964, in France. She was exhibited all over France and won 1st prize in painting at Talent of women 83 La Garde, France, and 1st Albert Gleizes Prize at 37th Cavalaire arts fair, France.
