Thalye d'Oriam

After reinforcing the sheet of okoumé wood so that it doesn't move with time and the weight of my creation, I prepare the surface with an undercoat.

I paint the background of my work, using various supports to give depth or relief. I then arrange the glass bowls, which I will have painted and decorated in various ways beforehand, often several times. Finally, once everything is in place, I resin it to give it shine, transparency and reflections (mirror effect), which leads to changes in the painting and its colours, depending on how it is exposed to light. I often imagine a simple story connecting the primordial elements (fire, earth, water, ether) through the singularity of the forms they offer. I want to reveal beauty, elegance, serenity, contemplation, femininity, strength, randomness, change, the wheel of life, heaven, earth, food, the sacred, adornment, because everything is in everything and everyone gives and takes ‘the living’ in an uninterrupted movement; eternal change and recommencement.
