Paintings & Drawings

(1989-1997)

My very early love of drawing and painting led me to a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts. Drawn to the figurative style, I used fragments of urns, ancient ruin and human figures as existential symbols of the transitory nature of human life and of civilizations. These forms, drawn and painted in successive washes, emerge and dissolve into the surrounding space, tangible for only brief moments in the continuity of time. These works provide insight into my beginnings and show in a figurative form my concern for texture, color and themes that continue on in my abstract concrete works.
Mon attirance précoce pour le dessin et la peinture m'a conduit à un baccalauréat en beaux-arts. Attirée par le style figuratif, j'ai utilisé des fragments d'urnes, des ruines antiques et des figures humaines comme symboles existentiels de la nature éphémère de la vie humaine et des civilisations. Ces formes, dessinées et peintes en couches successives, émergent et disparaissent dans l'espace environnant, tangibles que pour de brefs instants dans la continuité du temps. Ces œuvres donnent un aperçu de mes débuts et montrent, sous une forme figurative, mon intérêt pour les textures, couleurs et thèmes qui se poursuivent dans mes œuvres abstraites en beton.
