One of the important factors that limits us ... is ourselves and our own experience, what happened to us, what kind of formatted us .... Being free is therefore also being able to undress these clothes; that supposes to be able to deposit its own stamps, these truths which one believes absolute, these affirmations which are disguised in dogma… all that encumbers us and prevents us from receiving the other and to welcome the unforeseen. .. "My artistic practice is an essential source of freedom; working with water requires" letting go ". Whether in the wet, on fully or partially wet paper, the pigment spreads, diffuses, mixes with d others, find their way in an unpredictable way. Even if experience makes it possible to find more or less the right moment of intervention, there is always a good deal of chance, surprising and never reproducible effects. those moments when mixtures are made, sometimes unraveled without my knowing it ... where the unexpected arises and where beauty is to be grasped just there when it passes ... Knowing how to accept the power of water, play with her and rely on her, on what she decided to do ... this famous letting go that I am talking about already. In this case, water symbolically represents nature, its force, its power, the constraint that it imposes on us and therefore our smallness and our finitude. Making nature our ally and accepting our complementarity with great humility also reveals all our possibilities, our beauty at the same time as hers. With her, as in any human relationship, making an alliance, becoming an accomplice and complementary can thus bring out the unprecedented, the original and be a source of new wealth Marie-Françoise
