Virginie Banas

With the idea of being able to sculpt and shape the material, of making people want to touch the "canvas", it is natural that the work has become a knife to her.

Through the "mixed-media", she dares bonding materials such as cardboard, iron, sand (sometimes memories of trips) and continues to innovate by exploring techniques and textures, inks, pigments , acrylic and oils.

"All these experiences taught me not to paint, they have done more, they have opened doors ... each canvas comes a moment, a moment dream of a spiritual stage located between abstraction and figuration.
Each painting is a journey to the next ... "

LES COURS DE PEINTURE AU SEIN DE L'ATELIER DES PASSERELLES:

Ces cours sont de tous niveaux (débutant ou expérimenté) et ne nécessitent pas de savoir "bien" dessiner pour commencer à peindre.
L'objectif est de se faire plaisir dans un cadre et une atmosphère conviviale, mais d'être malgré tout accompagné afin d'acquérir rapidement les techniques de base indispensables à la création de ses propres œuvres.

Les groupes sont constitués de 4-7 personnes permettant un enseignement similaire à des leçons particulières, tout en conservant le plaisir du travail en groupe.
La durée d'une séance est de 2H30 et la pause café ou thé est l'occasion de prendre du recul sur les œuvres en cours.

Au fil des séances divers thèmes sont proposés de manière à favoriser autant le figuratif que l'abstrait et permettre à chacun d'approfondir son regard.
Ils sont indépendants les uns des autres et n'ont pas de caractère obligatoire, esprit de liberté oblige!

Pour vous résumer en quelques mots l'état d'esprit de l'atelier:
Suivant vos attentes et affinités, débutant(e) ou confirmé(e) vous pourrez apprendre à peindre à l'acrylique, l'huile,le pastel, l'aquarelle, la technique mixte, le travail au couteau...

Sans prétentions et dans une ambiance chaleureuse, je souhaite faire passer auprès de mes élèves ma passion, transmettre ce qui m'a enrichie et mon expérience de la pratique de la peinture.

Mon rôle est justement de vous guider dans toutes les étapes de création de vos œuvres.

Je vous invite à découvrir le blog de l'Atelier des Passerelles.

Virginie

Virginie BANAS, young artist in the atypical route evolves since youngest sound age in the artistic world.
Draftsman model maker by training, fed by its numerous journeys worldwide, by its various experiences and artistic meetings, Virginia dedicates himself to its passion for the paint today.

Sharing her life between her painter's job and the workshop which she opened in 2007 or she shares and teaches to her pupils her love of the art.

" Unpretentious and in a warm atmosphere, I wish to make cross to my pupils my passion, pass on what enriched me and my experience of the practice of the paint."

Virginia BANAS lives and works in Paris in his workshop situated not far from the district of Belleville.
She shows regularly her painting in France and abroad and recently her photographic pictures trying to develop a testimony and a very personal glance of what surrounds him.

HIS PERSONAL APPROACH:

With the idea "to skate", to be able to sculpture and shape the material, to tempt to touch the "painting", it is quite naturally that the work in the knife imposed upon her.

By means of the " mixed technique ", she dares the collage of materials such as the cardboard, the iron, sands him (sometimes souvenir of travellers) and continue to innovate by investigating techniques and textures, ink, pigments, acrylic and oil.

" All these experiences did not learn me to paint, they made more, they opened to me doors every picture emanates from moment, of dreamlike moment, of a spiritual stage placed between abstraction and representation. Every picture is a progress towards the fellow man... "
