Bleu dans l'eau Painting

Elisa Urrejola was born in Spain, in Castilla(Leon). In her early childhood, her family moved to Paris where she grew up.Her father worked for an enamel workshop. It was the 70's. : "On non-school days,I loved to watch him create jewelry, fashion accessories, he mixed powders and piecces of glass that came out the kiln with bright, shiny colors. I admired the shapes, the reliefs, the transparencies with gold or silver settings..." As an adult, her professional life led her to travel in africa and the Indian Ocean but drawing remained her passion. She has made her own technique that consists of a cold enamel effect and acrylic. Self-taugt artist, she wanted to recreate in her works what, as a child,dazzled her. : "At each moment of the day, at each change of light, each of my paintings seems different, more luminous or more discreet or even more colorful or mysterious?It changes mood! About my work.... Moments of pause, of calm and silence in an almost dreamlike nature. But also.. . My first paintings represented armchair put in scene, I imagined a continent, à destination, a dream. I have always loved the style of armchair and the environment of it. I worked in decoration for almost 8 years and I had a great pleasure to do, perhaps this passion to paint it. I always paint each of my works flat. The enamel is liquide and I layer several colors. Also I have to wait for the part of the work done to be completely dry before I can work again I work, according to the inspiration, on two works so I can shorten the time of creation. The certi of the formes is also made flat so if want to make a big format I make it in several panels to make a clean and precise work.
