Original abstract acrylic painting on canvas. Usually, she works directly on the canvas but for that series, she drew sketches on paper as an outline for the characters.
Those characters depict a fantasy world. They are called "Tourlis-people" because she wanted to focus on the original "Tourlicoulis" and continue the adventure. 
The “Tourlicoulis” have grown and morphed, no longer content to hide. Hideous and hilarious, slim and rotund, set in their occupation, their enchanted and bold assertion of identity, in bright colors scream that life is colorful, anything but banal or “black and white”.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A magnetic spectacle unfolds within the canvas, capturing both the eye and the imagination. At the epicenter of this narrative is the Magician, a figure synonymous with mystery and the arcane. However, unlike most representations, our Magician doesn't hold a crystal ball or a deck of tarot cards. Instead, his instrument of choice is an enigmatic, rounded object, tapering off like a fish's tail. This object, shimmering with shades not found in the everyday spectrum, doesn’t merely reflect the future, as one might expect. Instead, it delves into the intricate tapestry of the present – a moment often overlooked in our quest for foresight. The fluidity of the object's fish-like tail suggests movement and flow, resonating with the ever-shifting nature of the 'now.' It seems to be perpetually on the move, navigating the currents of the present moment, embodying its unpredictability and constant change. By focusing on the present, the artist makes a profound statement. We often neglect the moment's richness in our relentless pursuit of what's to come. The Magician, through this unique oracle, invites viewers to introspect, to immerse in the 'here and now', and to appreciate the transient beauty encapsulated in every ticking second. The painting serves as both a visual delight and a philosophical muse, urging us to re-evaluate our relationship with time. It's not just about foreseeing the future but genuinely witnessing our present – in all its unpredictability, beauty, and impermanence.

"Creation is infinite. It revolves around my emotions like gentle waves of light." I am a French American artist living in Chicago. Previously trained in law, I discovered a profound passion for the arts after relocating from Paris to Chicago. Driven by curiosity, I enrolled in graphic art classes to delve into the depths of visual expression. As I immersed myself in the art world, my passion for creativity blossomed and ignited a spark within me. Although graphic art helped me realize my love for visual art, I found its limitations too restrictive and yearned for complete artistic freedom. The graphic art resembled a swimming pool, while the ocean represented the limitless expanse of creative expression I craved. I desired the autonomy to explore, escape the familiar, and freely express my emotions and visions of a different world. I wanted to go deep beyond what I learned; I wanted to feel. So, I started to bring some doodling to life. I began to paint them big and to give them an identity. Some motifs, such as small heads, large hands, silhouettes, flowers, birds, dots, strange creatures, and other unidentified shapes, naturally appeared. But this is when I dived into the marvelous world of colors that my art took another turn. I felt a sense of completion when I could combine the fluid lines with the bold shapes and the expressive power of colors. Wassily Kandinsky reminded us that color and conditions can resonate directly with the soul. While I don't seek out set themes, my art naturally embodies generosity, love, humor, music, fantasy, passion, and spirit. My paintings showcase powerful emotions, vibrant colors, and thoughtful expressions of human complexity. These themes seem ingrained in my creative process. My work reflects my inner world and my unique perspective on life. My paintings' presence of generosity, love, and humor suggests a deep appreciation for the human spirit and its capacity for joy and connection. My vivid colors add a sense of liveliness and energy to my work. My artistic approach celebrates life and the richness of the human experience. Through my art, I share my unique world vision and create a space for others to contemplate, feel, and connect with the essence of my creative expression. My paintings are not merely images but gateways to emotions and contemplations that resonate with the hearts of those who behold them.
