Conjured by Moonbeams was a challenge given to me by a poet friend. She gave me a list of random sentences to get started on a poem. The words "conjured by moonbeams" were part of the choices. I am not a poet, so instead of writing, I painted what the words inspired in me. 

I started by the middle one, and then went on to create a darker and a lighter one which I think work well together. The bottom one with the pink shape became a problem to create. There is no such thing as pale red. There is pink. The idea was to create 3 paintings with background going from pale to dark, and shapes going from dark to pale. I couldn't do pale red, so I did pale pink but I think it works anyway. 

FYI: did you know that pink is a recent concept? Once upon a time, it was solely known as pale red, red being the colour of blood, and therefore of man - man wounded in battle - ergo pink was a manly colour.

I used a simple technique of applying the paint thickly with a palette knife, spreading a newspaper sheet over it, pressing it down with my hands and then pulling it off in order to create this slightly rough finish which contrasts with the smooth and sharp shapes of the collage over it.

Recently, my brother wrote a poem inspired by this tryptic.

Something forgotten strums the walls from behind
A shiny red pavement rotates under mobile clouds
Tubular thoughts of a blue metropolis and its blinking axis
A door slides as the sky darkens 
Then a road is crumbling and someone inspires colors
While she falls asleep
Mindless canvas
And lost directions
Footprints to make

Isabelle Séné was born in France in 1969 and has lived in Britain since 1991. Painting has always been in her family: her father, whom she truly admires, is a talented photographer and painter; and her mother, a wonderfully creative mind who could create beauty out of anything, discovered herself a passion for painting murals late in her life. They are Isabelle’s inspiration which led to the journey of experiencing the intimacy and freedom between the mind and the canvas, the soul and the paint. Isabelle uses colours and textures to create an emotional rather than a realistic form of expression; painting what she feels when seeing something or someone – believing the internal expression and observation holds as much value as the external. Inspired by colours, shapes and textures as well as feelings and emotions, she has a passion for engaging with unusual mediums such as pebbles, sand, strings, wood shavings or simply layers of paint applied with the hands in order to get a thickly texturized piece of art which will invoke temptation by the viewers to touch, smell and merge closely with the painting. In 2011 Isabelle resigned from the corporate world of Investment Banking and moved to the south coast in a bid to start a new life away from the hustle and bustle of London. Since then, she finished a full-time course in antiques restoration, started a successful business in furniture making and restoration with her partner, and created a much loved community project supporting marginalised women and refugees in Portsmouth. Moving to Hampshire from London was key in enabling Isabelle to develop an increased level of artistic expression and ethical rewards.
