Nadege Druzkowski

I am a French-born artist, who currently lives and work in Lyon. My work explores themes of memory, absence and time through painting, video and printmaking.

According to Marcel Proust 'Our memories are nothing but reconstructions'. Beneath a genuine representation, they are just sophisticated fabrications of the mind, past episodes constantly reshaped in the shadow of present events. The reality we acknowledge as fixed becomes something more complex, multi-facetted. It morphs into fiction. My work embarks on an exploration of that fine line between the real and the illusory, a world where time itself dissolves in a dream-like state.
