we all live in a yellow Drawing

Delphine Armilles lives and works in Seine-Saint-Denis, as a visual artist. After studying ceramics, she continued her artistic studies at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. During these studies, she experimented with various techniques, in addition to painting and drawing: mosaic, scenography, fresco ... His artistic activity is divided between illustrations and an extensive and varied personal practice. It begins, in early 2019, in parallel with a new series of drawings, a curriculum of replication of classical painted works, within a “imitator” workshop, through the study of these practices, learning ancient techniques, she broaden her regard and research in the service of a new direction of her works. By considering this learning period of new practice, as a moment of retirement, she gained the liberty that is required for this very long and incalculable and non-profitable time needed for her paintings. Through her works, Delphine Armilles questions our relationship to artificial light which fastenings us from waking to bedtime, un- distillates and alienates us, takes us away from reality. By setting figures of children and of young people, into painted imageries, in a classical methods and style, she offers us a disenchanted vision of the world, and of its mutations. She through light on the insignificant parts, which fills in all the empty spaces, creating a profusion of emptiness, generating sadness, isolation, and even violence and idleness, pointing on the lack of happiness in place of delight, where knowledge seems within a reach of the given displays.
