EXHIBITION OPENS TILL 28 FEBRUARY 2013.

FAUNE, FLORE AND LANSCAPE OF CHATEAGUAY,

The artist plays and thinks as marbler.

Her search is faced in the same spirit of the first marblers Ebrü Turks of the XVth century that named this technique art of the clouds; a godsend, a metaphysical conscience of the sense of the colors cheered up by a happiness of living.

On the tracks of the principal masters Ebrü that were drawing the flora of his immediate way; the artist is inspired by the movements, by the textures and by the natural way of Cháteauguay to create her works.

Certain works are conceived like a jigsaw puzzle with multiple staff mounted on a support of paper or silk. This Indian technique dates back to the second half of the sixteenth century and needs a big mastery in execution.

In parallel, other works are consciously experimental; they play with the flotation of the liquid as well as with the interactions of the translucent colors and create then, the third dimension.
