Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Acrylic, a paint that adapts

Acrylic paint and its design

Acrylic is a paint whose solvent is largely composed of water. It is made from a mixture of pigments and acrylic resin and dries by evaporation of the water it contains.

The American printers Leonard Bocour and Sam Golden invented a first version of acrylic paint and put it on sale in 1949. Subsequently, the chemist Henry Levinson created artistic acrylic paint in 1963, diluted in water. Painters such as Andy Warhol and David Hockney used it very quickly. In Mexico, it was also designed around 1950. Chemists, in collaboration with Mexican mural painters, developed it during the creation of frescoes on the facades of the University of Mexico.

Description
Not here (acrylique sur toile, 61x50cm) Au fil des rencontres que j’ai pu faire dans ma vie, j’ai pris conscience que je n’étais pas seule à avoir ce sentiment d’étrangeté face au monde qui m’entoure. J’illustre cette perception avec un genre plutôt naïf, qui rappelle les portraits de femmes avec des fleurs très commun en peinture. Seulement les fleurs que j’ai créées n’existent pas. Le personnage, d’apparence humaine, exprime cette sensation d’étrangeté par sa couleur de peau. Aussi, ma critique porte également sur le milieu artistique où peu d’artistes se démarquent et reproduisent sans même tenter d’alimenter l’œuvre d’une manière plus personnelle. Enfin, j’ai souhaitais exposé l’idée que nos différences ethniques, religieuses ou idéologiques ne doivent pas être perçues comme une faille mais prise pour ce qu’elles sont ; une force pour nous harmoniser.
