Alexandra Baudin

Oil painting and stubbornness in rendering.

The first step is the work of the mat black background and slightly structured in the manner of stucco, (on canvas, wood or paper) in order to obtain a smooth preparation allowing me a better defined graphics. I then work by superimposing glazes, thus bringing transparency and depth. The detail, to bring the subject to life.

For several years now, the sea and its environment have seduced me. Especially oysters, but also fish and waves. I like to say that I do "oyster portraits", all different, I give them a name that personalizes them.

Extract from Univers des Arts September 2017.

"……… Alexandra does not omit any detail in the elegance of the palette and the drawing, the mollusks become objects of contemplation, of admiration. A light and fluid material, magnified by the light reveals an unexpected beauty. "
