Arbre nu, fleurs en devenir Painting

Bio: My name is Tiphanie Canada and I was born in Bayonne (Southwest of France) in 1989. Since I was a child, I always loved creation in all its forms. But my preference is for painting and working on textures. In 2008, I obtained my Baccalaureate in Literature & Art specialization Plastic Arts. During this period I started to explore acrylic painting and mixed media. Then, during ten years, I travelled and studied different subjects in Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Bayonne and moved to New York, Shanghai, Spain and Indonesia. In 2019, I decided to devote my time to painting, my dream since I was a child. I think I had to get away from my practice to understand how much it is part of me. Artistic Approach : The interaction between matter and light is the essence of my work. I have a visceral need to bring them together. For me, the artistic process or “my journey to the finished artwork” is as important as the artwork itself. It is even more intimate. Each painting is a new adventure, a kind of inner journey. The process is the path I discover step by step during the creation. Sometimes, I encounter difficulties, dead-ends, crossroads that make me take other directions and experience new things, but my destination is always an emotion. It is when I feel it that I know I have arrived. As a self-taught artist, I developed my own technique using mixed media, combining collage, acrylic paint and ink. A practice that takes place in three stages : first I work on the textures with reliefs, then I use colors as emotions and bring light with gold pigments that sublimate and reveal another aspect of the artwork. My main subject is the dialogue with Nature. Humans are part of Nature. Nowadays, some tend to forget about it. Humans have to reconnect with this Nature. Its balance and development depend on it. I simplifie the objects of my works by getting red of superfluous details to keep only the quintessence. To me, it is the removal of these details that lifts a veil allowing to enter in a world of emotions.
