Romane Dupuy

Self-taught painter, I combine acrylic techniques and copper foil collage to create sensitive and bewitching paintings.

Inspired by Art Nouveau and Art Deco, Street Art and photography, influenced by mythologies and femininity, my art translates into a very sensory realization and an interpretation full of emotions.

The creation of my paintings is a real sensitive experience

In my opinion, art should be a fully sensory experience.
And this experience begins at creation.

For the need of contact with the material, I paint acrylic mainly using my hands and my fingers.

Every sense is involved: The meticulous handling of the copper sheets, the rustling of the latter, the sound of the brush on the stretched canvas, the smell of affixing glue and that of paint ...

Between dream and reality, when the paintings seem to come to life ...

The combination of copper foil and acrylic leaves a special shine.
This gives reliefs that change with the natural light, the space where the work is displayed, and thus allows the paintings to evolve in space-time.

The curves and the reflections mingle to move better, as if the painting came to life.
For a totally hypnotic effect.

I create with my emotions to awaken those of the viewer.

I want to turn my paintings into passages to worlds of dreams and spirituality, divine and mystical.
I try to captivate the viewer, to make him travel.
I would like to offer him a special moment during his contemplation.
A moment just for him, like a parenthesis to breathe.
Each of the paintings exhibited here have particular imprints: they sometimes inspire power, assurance and confidence, sometimes appeasement, softness and lightness.
They invite us to free ourselves, to let go, and to find strength in each of us.
Between hair disorder and harmony of reflections, you will undoubtedly find a reassuring warmth ...
