Marie-Ange de la Happy Funky Family

Visual artist, born in 1964 in Limoges, Marie Ange is a portraitist.

Through her portraits she expresses her desire for aesthetics and femininity as well as her penchant for melancholy and nostalgia. His faces are strong and express a rare emotion.

In her "feathers in suspension" portraits, the chosen material, the feather, exacerbates the emotions and in particular the fragility and the feminine softness. The feeling of transparency of the portrait and its evanescent side is brought by the concept of the work: the feathers are fixed on almost invisible nylon threads which allow the portrait to be detached from the support and to seem in levitation. The absence of color reinforces the emotion and presses the nostalgia. The relief and down of the feathers give a touch of blur and softness to the whole.

Each creation is imagined, designed and shaped entirely by hand in his workshop. The feathers are fixed on a transparent nylon thread.

Marie-Ange seduces us with the originality of her techniques. She creates extremely original and similar portraits.

Its large formats reveal the beauty and gentleness of the characters while keeping a part of mystery. Faces are guessed, suggested and appear as if by magic. She likes to say her feathers are angel feathers, so poetic.

Marie-Ange is a sort of self-taught magician who fascinates us with her creativity and talent.
