Discover the contemporary work of Dianne A

I follow my passions, I follow my intuitions and I explore the multiple paths that open up to me

For me, art is an escape, a freedom of expression that allows me to rediscover myself and meet those who are immersed in it.

In 2016, I traveled to India, in Kerala. This trip reconnected me with the earth and its riches. When I returned to France, I began to model the earth, inspired by my Indian encounters, and I created works in terracotta.

In 2017, my path crossed that of Rizé TAKAHASHI, a Japanese ceramicist. With him, I learned the traditional Japanese stick wheel and various techniques of Japanese ceramics (Tatara, Himo, Tebineri, Tama, Zukuti, etc.) He also introduced me to decorations on raw earth (Itozokome, Shippiki, etc.) Rizü showed me that the beauty of objects has the power to influence us deeply.

Decorating and painting ceramics then pushes me to learn more about colors, painting and drawing.

In 2022, I enrolled in an art school where I took oil painting and watercolor classes and participated in different workshops (including perspective).

I am convinced that in each of us there is an artist that we do not yet know.

Sharing art helps create connections and inspire everyone to reveal the artist in him.

Artistic expression is never fortuitous.

My paintings are born from a text, a poem or an image that touches me and perhaps even from a form of intuition that I cannot explain in a Cartesian way, since my mind is inspired and my hand follows this inspiration...

It is like these vague memories of colors, situations, scenes and aesthetics that populate our thoughts and that reveal themselves as we go along. brushstrokes, sometimes even in a certain automatism.

It is the invisible of our memory that becomes visible and which is undoubtedly that of our origin, that of our belonging to the Universe.  

In my artistic approach, there is a deep desire to want to reveal in each of my paintings, a look, a detail or a symbol in order to awaken the spectator in what he sometimes believes to have forgotten but which is never anything but numb deep down: his past lives.

I like the expression “to madness” and I am delighted that my artistic approach is inscribed in it, in my representation of aesthetics, in my understanding of art and in what I can be as an artist.

So let's be crazy!
