Marie-Martine, multidisciplinary artist in Romans-sur-Isère, near Valence in the Drôme.
This collection was born from my taste for the moments of magic that life offers us. Since childhood, I sketch shapes on scraps of paper that at first don't make sense. Gradually, I perceive an evocative image of an object, a being, a feeling, or other energy and at that moment the magic sets in.
Often, I draw lines on a sheet, a canvas frame, then I erase some of them
with no other goal than to discover a new reality that comes to take place. Sometimes I paint these improbable forms coming from here or elsewhere.
Often I keep white the spaces that were pencil lines or I paint the lines.
These lines, these spaces, unite to give way to a form known or not: from here or elsewhere...
Then a story comes to life...
In front of these paintings, let our imagination and our feelings lead us beyond our usual perceptions to appropriate the story and share it around us.
I love all colors with passion and "delicacy", in particular muted colors, iridescent colors, glitter, pearlescent colors, subtle colors, their sometimes improbable combinations.
Why do I choose to experiment with whites? Echo to the white, immaculate page, on which everything is possible? On which the writer invents, constructs a new story… Echo to the light which is wonderfully reflected by the white? "In the white coats"? How can I share with you my questions about this “color”?
Usually, I take a classic frame, white frame and I add colors and shapes. I can buy black frames, buy linen fabrics by the meter… and paint white… To this day, I am experimenting with several methods.
I let you imagine and discover them around a few paintings.
And you, what does white mean to you? Trust your feelings
I wish you enlightening and enriching answers.
