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
Pour cette œuvre intitulée «Between heaven and hell » Je me suis inspirée d’un montage que j’avais réalisé pour la couverture d’une de mes publications. Cette image est restée présente dans mon esprit; cette image qui évoque un être mi-ange, mi-démon, une créature d'une grande ambiguïté dans laquelle on peut imaginer cohabitent le bien et le mal en même temps et dans le même être. Le temps est passé et ce sont les récents et tragiques événements qui secouent actuellement notre monde qui m’ont donné envie de peindre cette image et son altérité, comme reflet de notre société, un inquiétant mélange d'obscurité et lumière, un monde souvent inquiétant qu'on est obligé de traverser, en espérant que la lumière aura raison de la pénombre, en espérant que malgré ses côtés obscurs on puisse voire de temps en temps la lumière et toucher de temps en temps au bonheur même s’il n’est qu'éphémère. En espérant toujours et encore un happy ending.
