About The Artwork

A session with living model moving slowly around on stool for sculptors gave me the idea to show a body in double position and slow motion. This is a kind of transformation that we all undergo during our lives. I worked spontaneously with pen, black calligraphy ink and Sennelier inks on aquarelle paper to keep the transparency. With the water, the ink changes slowly from black to blue-gray and even subtle shades of magenta. Y may ask me why does my latest artworks focus on the body ? I started by drawing human bodies as a challenging training about ten years ago. But after several years of practice, I realized that each body is like an endless exotic world to explore. No human shape can totally seal nor unveil what is inside. When I cannot travel to discover other countries, I am „mapping“ bodies in my atelier. My work with the living model is a permanent challenge to capture more than just a face and shape. The body is also a messenger of our hidden singularity. How relevant is our first impression compared to a deeper immersion in somebody’s life? Our accomplishments, our roots and wounds, our delights or fears are encrypted in our anatomy and faces. My objective is to capture a part of this intrinsic and hidden identity. I always loved to explore the hidden side of my first perception. Maybe it is a fragment of this 20-year-long experience behind the Iron Curtain where everything was just a fake and propaganda. I have learned to analyze closely all little signs to understand better each person in front of me. It was a survival instinct to go beyond appearances. Maybe this passion to map bodies come from this period, maybe not. About framing : including white wooden frame 50x60 cm.

Hello, I am a French-Czech visual artist currently living in Paris and also in Picardie and Prague. After twenty years living behind the Iron Curtain, I have built my life in exile in France as an uprooted but free woman. Polyglot, with a university education ranging from linguistics to marketing, a former communication expert, e-commerce entrepreneur, I have turned the page at 50 to devote myself to an artistic career. The struggle for liberty and the refusal of propaganda are the two pillars of my experience. Why does my recent artworks focus on the body? Each body is like an endless exotic world to explore, and no human shape can totally seal nor unveil what is inside. How relevant is our first impression compared to a deeper immersion in somebody’s life? Our accomplishments, our roots and wounds, our delights or fears are encrypted in our anatomy and faces. My objective is to capture a part of this intrinsic and hidden identity. For me, any body is a messenger of people hidden singularity.
