About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

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.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Clay

Sculpture technique using as a raw material a malleable soil that can have different colors.

Collages

Collage is an artistic creation technique that consists of making a plastic creation by combining elements of various kinds: more or less flat materials, such as printed oilcloth, painting or drawing, newspaper extracts with text and photos, paper paintings, documents, various objects of low relief, etc. When the creation incorporates elements in relief, one can also speak of assemblage. This also includes glued papers, which employ a variety of papers, including newspaper, and drawing techniques.

Fabric

Technique consisting in creating a work based on fabrics and which can be decorated by adding color or material.

Outsider Art

Invented by Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) in 1945, the idea is to create works with primitive graphics that take no academic reference into account. He will also advise to "draw like a child" and encourage self-taught artists.

Technic Sculpture

Sculpture is an artistic activity which consists of designing and producing shapes in volume, in relief, either in the round (statuary), in high relief, in low relief, by modeling, by direct carving, by welding or assembly. The term sculpture also designates the object resulting from this activity.

Véronique Attia

France

Véronique Attia is a contemporary French artist. Through the action of painting, engraving, modeling, she has inexorably pursued for more than 20 years, a journey into the reminiscences of the past and embraces the uncertainties that accompany the artistic process, perpetually seeking new horizons. Attia's evocative visions are deeply linked to the history of the earth and humanity, reflecting a deep commitment to our common past.

Her artistic experiments involve a diverse mix of materials including pigments, colours, cement, collages, marouflaged textiles, gesso, bitumen and oil pastels. This rich interplay of media gives birth to the material from which she shapes form and meaning. Faces, bodies, walls, figures, traces, symbols and elements of nature emerge from her work like signals waiting to be deciphered.

Keen to experiment with art in complete freedom, Attia lets spontaneity guide her gestures, leaving room for the unexpected while remaining sensitive to her own intuition. This approach leads her on a quest for revelations that resonate with the primitive. Her paintings invite the viewer to reconnect with founding elements, as evidenced by her portraits that echo Aboriginal, African and pre-Columbian art, as well as her landscapes imbued with the essence of a virgin nature, a reflection of our links with distant origins.

Through her unique perspective and exploration of materials, Véronique Attia's work serves as a bridge between the contemporary and the archaic, encouraging a deeper understanding of humanity's common heritage.
