Quiétude, 2024

Anval  

Born in Béziers, Annie Valat, better known under the pseudonym of Anval, took drawing and painting lessons in a research and creation workshop in Languedoc. She participates in various events, exhibitions in this region.

She settles down on the French Riviera where she continues to follow internships including watercolors workshop with the painter Alain Marc, exhibits in international fairs in Nice, Cannes, galleries as well as abroad, Italy, California ...

Futurist painter, lyrical abstract, she arrives by dint of persuasion to lay her dreams on the canvas so that they become reality: this is how she expresses her emotions after having previously deposited her impressions by the support of the material . The work carried out is matched only by his talent because each canvas seems to carry a message or a secret to discover. We let ourselves be carried away by emotion. His paintings speak, question and challenge without revealing to us the part of the mystery that is hidden in each of them.

The eye lingers for a long time on the colored works of the painter Anval, the veil of reality tears and lets glimpse a world that ordinary people perceive only through moments of ecstasy or deep meditation. The reality of the dream integrates our sensory organs and we wonderfully wonder if the stars which twist, the scraps of sky which soar on the canvas, do they not invite us on an imaginary journey and questioning our own reality. The shimmering colors transform the gray and sad fabrics of our so pale reality which is running to its destruction.

The feat of this quality artist is to invite us to look at our world other than through the prism of our five senses conditioned by years of visual poverty.

Thanks to a technique inspired certainly by his knowledge of oriental culture, the brushstrokes and the quivering of the line organize the canvas like an abyss of the world where the telluric forces cause, glacier slides, unexpected tremors, the shock of stars and the intersection of tectonic plates in a mastered original chaos.

Thus chromatic sweets and explosion in the sky of crushed materials combine in a waking dream that questions reality in what is most elusive.

His painting is harmony, chaos and interstellar void bathed in unsuspected beauties.
