Annie Tremsal

Annie Tremsal is an expressionist painter. Her art is marked by a very great creative freedom shown not only by the visual images of her works, but also by the variety of media she uses (steel, Chinese paper, canvas, fabric, wood, etc.).

Faithful heir to the ancestral techniques of the great masters, Annie Tremsal develops her own mediums from oil, binders and pigments, oxide powders, fine marble powder as well as a wide variety of chromatic fine powders. ochres extracted from minerals naturally coming from the earth.

Philosophy also occupies a very important place in the life of Annie Tremsal, which nourishes her painting. Close to many French philosophers, notably François Julien, she is also very deeply influenced by Taoist philosophy, which advocates nature, calm and inaction. Perfectly consistent with her philosophical claim to go to the essential, and to the origins of humanity, well beyond appearances, Annie Tremsal practices an unpretentious, sober and contemporary style of painting, with an ultimate search for simplicity and harmony.

Guided by her artistic intuitions, in her neither figurative nor abstract works, Annie Tremsal expresses herself with a musicality punctuated by the lines and the complementarity "empty and full", in particular through the adoption of the color white complemented by other colors. Of his choice. This musicality in his works echoes the few essential elements that make up the space where we humans exist: mineral, wood, water, fire, rock, wind ...

In his paintings, this space can also be original, virgin places, little shaped by man, that the artist invents for himself, and which can accommodate everything. Therefore, through his works, the artist evokes to us the meaning of life, which is the pure joy or the innate joy of existence, brought by essential elements, as opposed to the material surplus to which we are sucking up our "current societies".
