Marie-Pierre Darribes (Daej)

Marie-Pierre Darribes was born on October 21, 1973 (high Pyrenees) France. Begins painting around the age of 6-7 years, in small format representing the sea, the twilight ... painted in gouache on cardboard ... wood. Marie Pierre, or Daej (pronounce already) signature that the artist created at the age of 11, then kept. Installed in the capital of Occitane (Toulouse) for 12 years, Daej admits to having always tinkered, fashioned something. Painting refuses any source of inspiration to remain at the purest of its creations, and keep all its identity. The format of her canvases, puzzles or paintings are fragmented, making her atypical. Strange blend of ancestral and avant-garde technique. So much originality to present on my email to the cabaret manager, then a sponsorship around blue ... eight paintings will see the light of day, eight original creation of a deep blue, on which the art lover will find rounded contrasts very marked, diva faces straight out of a tale. Like mermaids from a different world, from another ocean, hanging on the canvas like men are multifaceted. As a teenager, she found herself in an abstract period where angles and colors were the order of the day. With time, the angles fade, the lines are curved, oval. Less radicalism, an ingenuous softness in addition to the nude, draws in charcoal most of the time, occupying him for long hours, a nude deprived of sexuality, naive and primary always represented in unrealistic situations. Sanguine sketches made on the banks of the Seine bear witness to the evolution. The art of suggestion or the sign of anti-pornographic mating. Marie-Pierre traces her self-portrait in a philosophical tone "I don't know if I am a shepherd, or if I am a thief of my own decency". The one for whom painting is a photograph of the interior sums up her artistic approach in one title: the reversibility of being. The cliché to which Daej clings reveals a sentimental state of the artist cannot be denied. In addition to art galleries, the artist sees long-term creative projects. Wood could be his next destination, and more precisely the Bois de Boulogne. In the world of prostitution and sexual debauchery, She aims to show "the ladies or big legs" without judging them, to bring softness in this world devoid of love, in these dark corners where "everyone or go but everyone goes! Daej wants to witness what we don't show. She aspires to experience emotion, To create according to her feelings and not according to the images conveyed in this place. Today the “magnetic” series is born, concretizing the emotional vibrations of the purest instincts. The painter admits her wanting to leave signs, Traces for fear of disappearing, scattering the pieces of her puzzle.
