En ce jour Notre Dame enflammée, 2024

Lisbeth Buonanno  

Art is as multiple as the views that shape it. My creation invites you on a visual journey that mixes intimacy, shift and timelessness, while drawing on our collective imagination. No grand speeches, just raw emotions, narrative snapshots where everyone can find themselves.

My exploration revolves around a leitmotif: capturing a moment of life. My ambition? To touch, challenge, arouse the curiosity of the viewer, whether they are looking for personal resonances, anecdotal winks or subtle humor. Between urban settings and hushed atmospheres, where imposing machines rub shoulders with vintage and the future, my characters evolve in real confidential pocket theaters. They live melodramas there, weaving and unweaving the fragile thread of lost and found hopes.

But the interpretation always belongs to the viewer!

A fundamental element guides my work: light. It sublimates my intimate sensations, envelops my subjects without artifice and gives them a unique intensity.

Techniques and know-how

I draw on the legacy of the old masters, combining tradition and experimentation. Oil, tempera, egg emulsions, pure pigments, varnishes and homemade mediums are at the heart of my process.

I explore the depth of materials by integrating gold leaf gilding, which enhances certain works with a timeless shine. Each technique is chosen for its ability to capture light and bring my artistic visions to life.

My inspirations

They are multiple: cinema, advertising, the press, American Realism, the masters of painting through the ages and above all… you, everything that touches and moves me.
