Marie-Line Goldenberg (Tillandsia)

“Marie-Line Dominique Goldenberg, known as Tillandsia, was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1959. Designed in an artist's studio on the Place de Clichy, Tillandsia was born from a father photographer / abstract painter and a mother portrait painter / landscape painter. Tillandsia presents his first paintings at the age of fifteen with the group of “Painters of the Marais”, which earned him the hands of Jacques Chirac, then mayor of Paris, the silver palm of public encouragement. The four words that would best represent Tillandsia's work would be: Color, Matter, Travel and Temperament. Indeed, developing in-depth research on color, material and the balance of composition, his works are inspired by world cultures and his love of nature. His work is the fruit of careful thought and long observations. Others express a temperament, a feeling. Finally, the study of the works of the great masters, modern and old, is for her a source of permanent inspiration. Through singular movements and the energy that his paintings give off, a whole dreamlike and historical symbolism aims to make those who look at them travel - in space and time. As Tillandsia likes to point out, using Zola's words: “A work of art is a corner of creation seen through a temperament. Mystery is pervasive in Tillandsia's work. Some touches symbolize Amerindian feathers, others recall Braque's doves and give dynamism. The material, formed by the mixture of oil paint and sands from his various trips around the world, gives relief to the canvas and marks the very strong bond that the artist maintains with the earth.
