About The Artwork
Devotion (feminine name): Quasi-religious attachment to something or someone; veneration. It is this definition of Larousse which determined the title of the painting. True counterpart to "The Icon", which it uses the format and Instagram notifications, "The devotion" denounces the cult of the person on social networks. Followers worship influencers like they are new gods, drinking their words and buying their products. In this canvas, however, I wanted to add an additional dimension: the holy figure represented here is also in total admiration in front of the social networks, which give it its power. I used in this canvas reproductions of self-portraits in the field of painting (Gauguin, the Douanier Rousseau and Kokoschka) to symbolize the selfies, and Parisian ties to represent the halo surrounding the heads of saints in religion.

France
The difficult issue of identity, duality and inner conflict is at the heart of Annabelle's thinking. Whether it is the injunction made to women (on their physique, their activities or their social status) or the personal evolution in our society (where the norm is still the only model and where the difference is stifled), the question is then the same: how do we make our deep convictions coincide with the world around us? How to assert our identity without feeling judged? Can we remain ourselves, flourish, knowing that we are constantly influenced by society, the gaze of others, social networks, money or even success? Annabelle rips, cuts and glues book pages and playing cards on the canvas, which she then covers with acrylic paint. The organic skin of the women that she portrays thus gives way to images and colors that make it possible to transcribe what they feel and who they are.
