Muse 3 Artwork - Limited Edition of 10

Brigitte Nogaro is a self-taught Franco-Canadian artist. She lives and works in Montreal. Before establishing herself as an artist, Brigitte had a career as a pharmacist. She draws a lot of botanical knowledge. Already as a child, she was passionate about observing the living. Armed with a microscope, she liked to experiment with plant matter, to observe the life hidden there. Today, this scientific knowledge and this passion for observing the substance of things can be found in her creative process. It relies on these tangible scientific data to extrapolate towards the spiritual. “My artistic approach is particular and glitch art seems to join me in my concept: to create an error to catch beauty in flight, then to magnify it.” Brigitte strives to see this magical information contained in each element, each particle of life. It is this information, emitted by everything, that Brigitte wishes to transmit. Her work is an exploration of the unknown hidden in the heart of humans and nature. “Like the life cycle of stars, I start destroying in order to build, I realize that there is no beginning or end and it’s fascinating. Throughout the creation of my artwork, heading towards the unknown, I see, but I don't understand.” Her creative process is unique. It is based on images of reality, then patiently, with faith, Brigitte deconstructs the image. Digital creation offers her infinite tools and possibilities, and encourages her to explore, gradually erasing herself, so that life is given. “I think that the act of creation is a great responsibility because the artist acts as a messenger. He is the intermediary and makes visible what cannot be seen. It is therefore up to it to be inclined towards listening to the world in order to then give shape and life to the information.” This random process allows her to never repeat the same gestures and to be in a joyous quest, for the image that can arise at any time. New forms appear on their own. Brigitte then seizes this information to put it into a story in the form of small symbolic tales. These narrative forms dialogue with her plastic work, and open up other paths to the imagination. Because what Brigitte wants above all is to generate an emotion in the other, to make people feel it. Far from wanting to freeze an apparent reality, she causes digital chaos by defying the logic of algorithms, but the essential remains: matter with all the information it contains.
