girl and angel Collage

I was born in 1975 and started painting several years ago. I am a self-taught painter and perfect my technique through personal research and through many long hours of observation and practice. "Equipped" with a doctorate of biology in my pocket, I worked for more than 10 years in the health sector. But ... I have always been passionate about creation and devote all my time today. My first artistic influences are street art, pop art and art brut. I am very admiring of artists such as Banksy, Troy Henriksen, Armand Kouby, Rosalie Ballester, Rero, or Basquiat. I create instinctively, letting myself be guided by a find, a photo, a place, an object ... Industrial and urban atmospheres, design, architecture and especially music nourish my work. My means of expression is a mixed technique, combining collage and acrylic paint. I collect and keep carefully all kinds of posters, papers, cardboards, photographs, images, and materials such as fabric, plastics, etc ... I like the idea of ​​recycling these papers, these everyday images, to give them an artistic "second life". I tear apart, destructure, assemble the flaps of posters differently to reconstruct them and create a harmony between colors and shapes. I like working on details. Each piece of paper has its meaning and its place. I then homogenize these pieces with acrylic paint and sometimes drawings.
