And these moments are even more present in the time of coronavirus as we have to stay home. There are no event, no social life...

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

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.

Laure Manière, born in 1985, is a versatile French artist living and working in Germany. Based in Cologne, she explores various artistic mediums, ranging from gouache and watercolor on paper to ink and digital art, creating figurative works imbued with a cartoonish aesthetic.

After studying visual communication in Paris, where she graduated in 2008 at the École Estienne and the École Duperré, Laure decided to move to Germany. There, she pursued her passion for art while training in art therapy in Cologne, graduating in 2022. This dual skill set allows her to combine her love for artistic creation with her desire to work with people.

Her artistic influences are rich and varied, ranging from the expressive works of Käthe Kollwitz and Egon Schiele to the subtle illustrations of Klaus Ensikat and Félix Vallotton. She is also inspired by the contemporary painting of Lisa Yuskavage and the narrative style of Janosch, which is reflected in her intimate and emotional creations.

Laure Manière particularly enjoys drawing portraits and focusing on the simple and intimate moments of everyday life. Her art often addresses themes such as the challenges women face in society, motherhood, childhood, as well as faith and spirituality. Her works, deeply personal, are imbued with her own life experiences.
