Annie-Claude Ferrando

"Mémoire de femme What a pleasure to recognize these artists who refuse any bondage to a genre, to a school or to a manner and have no need to define themselves figurative or abstract. Annie-Claude Ferrando is of this precious and generous race, as an imaginative, daring creator endowed with a constant charm over the years. Indeed, for more than a quarter of a century this woman eager for discovery has devoted herself to painting, then to sculpture. But beware, not in any way, and this artist is not decided to be vampirized by multiple pasticheurs, always ready to slip into the bill of others. And it is very well thus, in order to specify an original talent , based on the material-color effect and the vitality of the gesture which, over the various themes treated by the artist, give a very singular appeal, born of multiple techniques, daring tricks and voluntary subjects, developed around insects, animals, cats, na ture, without forgetting this "memory of woman", happy conjunction of an excellent painting from which emerge diabolical and generous people, as cunning as elegant and which are prolonged by superb sculptures, born from the magic of thermoformed glass and bronze. . A seductive femininity that these torsos where authenticity competes with a daring modernity from which emerge an evocative poetry and a powerful emotion. "(C) A. Ruellan.
