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.

Oil painting

Oil painting is a painting technique well known to artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, this technique dates back to the end of the Middle Ages, gradually replacing tempora, which then consisted of an emulsion of egg yolk and egg white as well as colored pigments.

Its consistency was quite close to oil paint although it was later preferred for reasons of practicality.

If oil paint is popular, it is because it is a noble, rich, brilliant and creamy paint, particularly pleasant to work with for the painter.

Description
C’est par hasard qu’en 2000 j’ai découvert la Toile de Jute. Cette matière m’a tout de suite fasciné, par son pouvoir et son odeur particulière, peut être aussi parce qu’elle est issue de la terre et qu’elle a beaucoup participé au travail des hommes, celui de l’humble comme celui du génie. J’utilise aussi ce support tendu sur châssis. Froissée, ses plis et sa trame m’hypnotisent, puis petit à petit je découvre des silhouettes, des formes, qui se dessinent. Je commence alors à poser la couleur, Ma couleur… comme si des notes de musique découlaient de ces formes, où la toile aurait prévu sa propre orchestration. Je fixe mes couleurs sur ces portées imaginaires. Le résultat obtenu est chaque fois surprenant. Imaginez une partition que l’on pourrait lire de gauche à droite comme de bas en haut… et inversement. Une Toile n’a de limites que ses bords… et ses dimensions s’affichent … instinctivement !
