artist/ Balthazar

France

Graduating from the Lyon School of Applied Arts in 1990, she has since pursued a pictorial reflection on memory, representation and the transformation of memories.

Her painting is part of a creative process on canvas that combines several media: paintings, photographs and engraved writings.
The writing, made up of words, dates and places, evokes the feelings she has experienced. We perceive their presence only through their relief in the material, without being able to read them. The real, objective rendering of his photographs blends with the painting, creating a blurred effect of almost disappearing motifs. These are partial pieces of photographs, like so many traces of reality, incorporated into the painting.

Something is always disappearing or reappearing, like the flickering field of a reflection or memory. Neither figurative nor abstract, his works free themselves from the limits of perception. Each canvas is executed around a specific chromatic range, underscoring their unreality.
