Description
This contemporary artwork captures the seaside essence of La Ciotat with a soothing pastel color palette. Dominated by pink and light blue tones, it features stylized palm trees and a large crane with the inscription "La Ciotat," evoking the maritime industry and coastal charm of this Mediterranean city. The contrast between the silhouettes of the palm trees and the architectural structure creates a captivating visual harmony. The use of bright yet soft colors reinforces an atmosphere of calm and nostalgia, transporting the viewer on a visual journey through a sunny day. This modernist and graphic approach pays homage to the cultural and historical heritage of La Ciotat, while offering a unique and contemporary interpretation. The artwork perfectly illustrates the fusion of nature and industry, capturing the vibrant and dynamic spirit of the region.
Presentation
Born in 1977 in Nimes, I grew up in Avignon, a city of art and culture. It was in my forties that I decided to pursue my artistic career full-time. Driven by the need to feel alive, to express myself, I found salvation in painting!
Art and creativity have been the driving forces of my life since childhood.
Fine Arts on Wednesdays, days in my father's jewelry workshop, a visual arts option in high school, then two years at the Marseille School of Architecture as well as training as a graphic designer at the Axe Sud school... I'm looking for myself.
However, I meet people, I eat...
I will be a designer in an architectural firm for a while, a graphic designer, but also a mother.
The only thing that seemed obvious to me was that I didn't fit into the frame!
There is a form of irony that I like in the idea that I, who have always seen myself as someone who does not fit into the frame, find a certain form of freedom in the frame of my paintings.
It was my move to La Ciotat in 2011 that revealed my interest in maritime landscapes.
Everything speaks to me, everything inspires me: colors, shapes, perspectives, lights...
It's impossible to list my influences; they are limitless, without style, without date. I refuse to confine myself to anything.
I am curious above all, whether it is graphics, architecture, design, literature, cinema, a vacation, a Sunday afternoon, a pretty photo, the smile of my children or my latest pair of "pumps", everything is inspiration, everything is a source of wonder.
However, my main obsession is undoubtedly color.
Colors are a game; they make me feel good.
It was with acrylic painting that I found my happiness.
I mostly treat it in the form of flat tints.
My desire or my need is always to transcribe my sensitivity for a place, a moment, an image, a photo, a memory, to create an atmosphere...
There is something extremely exhilarating in the idea of being able to make it your own, to fantasize about it!
I think I have a relatively graphic approach or at least a desire to get to the point.
Share what I see, try to illustrate it, convey an emotion.
Either way, it's a game that ends when I look at the canvas and can finally say to myself, "It's okay."
It feels good to my eyes and my head.
So I know I can then move on to the next one...
That's just it.
