Marielle Ritlewski

I draw my inspiration mainly from animals and the history of my family who lives in Africa. Having this cultural heritage, the human exchanges and the environment have tinted me with all the African colors.

The animals inspire me particularly to diffuse all the atmospheres, sensations, energies and emotions that I keep from my experience there but also from here, France.

My goal is to color the world with indomitable life force and dynamism but also with quietness and serenity.

My technique is mainly based on acrylic with bright colors. For some and more and more,

 I also insert driftwood to make my animals "live". A part of the wood comes out of the frame and I like to transmit this freedom through my works.
