Virginie Roux-Cassé

This sentence from Pierre Soulages sums up the functioning of my work, which is perhaps that of all artists. It would be moreover: It is what I find which teaches me what I was looking for. The jubilation while doing, a pleasure of discovery, the feeling of being right, indicate to us when we are in the right place. It is this jubilation while doing, that will feel the one who will look. To paint, you have to want and welcome, choose a path and get lost along the way. Decide on a modus operandi in order to create the necessary conditions to allow chance to occur, and to make surprises possible. Contemplate them, develop some of them, transform others into eliminating some. Creation is an infinite quest, which feeds on itself, each mountain climbed, discovers an immense landscape, new spaces to discover, new passes to cross ... Which direction to choose? Each creation gives birth to the seeds of another. When I paint, as I go, my research shifts. No sooner had I arrived in a field, in a form, in a genre, than already inside it, a new track appeared, a new branch that took me elsewhere, again and again and without losing sight of my first research. , a whole new tree structure is emerging which delights me and which calls me ... My progress is an ascending spiral which passes regularly through the same boxes, the same subjects, the same questions but each time richer in the discoveries made elsewhere loaded new answers and new questions.
