Since she was very young, her holidays spent in Provence, not far from the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, have deeply influenced her imagination. This preserved place, so important to her, which she loves to define as her "haven of peace," has retained within it an infinity of happy memories.

 

These are all the good times that are a source of joy and comfort for each of us: family lunches in the shade of the sun, impromptu picnics on the grass, conversations by the pool, strolls through the heart of Provencal markets.

 

Today, the privileged moments she continues to spend in this sunny place, so dear to her heart, summon all these memories that she delights in sharing with us through her drawings full of generosity.

 

These drawings are made without pretension, in one go, like a child's drawing, in a brief moment of inspiration, when the memory becomes too strong and must be put on paper.

 

To meet this need, oil pastels have naturally been adopted because their ease of use offers the possibility of quick and instantaneous drawing. Moreover, this technique allows for capturing this spontaneous movement by simplifying the line and purifying the subject to the maximum, like with colored pencils tucked away at the bottom of a school bag.

 

If the drawings appear naive, it is to better invite the gaze to plunge into them easily, like a gentle invitation to disconnect, the possibility of an enchanted break in a brutal and anxiety-provoking world.

 

We find simple and naive symbols of happiness: the radiant sun showing the omnipresence of good weather, the always blue sky reflecting a peaceful and tranquil world, the palm tree reminding of dreamy and paradisiacal holidays, the pool offering the possibility of a light and weightless body.

 

To make the drawings luminous, the colors are bold, vivid, and assertive, even exaggerated, to propose unexpected and highly contrasting chromatic associations, allowing for the stimulation of a purely dreamlike imagination. These very bright, unshaded color blocks are softened by the femininity of a rounded line, as in a quest for perpetual happiness.
