![Painting, Portrait 5, Anna Camille](https://media.artsper.com/artwork/2183096_1_grid.jpg)
Presentation
Anna Camille works simultaneously on several series, all with different objectives.
Portraits on an orange-yellow background. Expressive faces, full of life, almost moving. The body just sketched, suggested. The painting captures an attitude, a look. It's effective, treated with economy, a concern not to say too much, a desire to stick as close as possible to the moment captured. Anna Camille goes straight to the point: no background, so that the eye is really focused on the face, its expressions and the light that emanates from it.
In fact, the face vibrates. It also raises questions: from a distance, we think we're dealing with charcoal, but up close, we identify the medium actually used by the artist: oil paint, a technique that requires slowness and maturation. This is the paradox of this work: Anna Camille starts with a quick selfie or photo, but chooses a medium that requires her to slowly absorb the expressions she sees and extract their essence.
Portrait or self-portrait, in the end it doesn't matter, the figure is treated with the ambition of showing a "moment", from which we can see a part of human nature, the joy, the bewilderment, the firmness, the tenderness. "Oscar Wilde wrote: "Any portrait that is painted with soul is a portrait not of the model, but of the artist.
