Painting le printemps est mon ami by VAG | Painting Figurative Acrylic

"Painting is suggesting, evoking and telling a story," confirms the French artist Valérie Anceaume Gutierrez. Her pictorial world may seem somewhat minimalist, childlike or naïve at first sight. Her portraits, arranged in series of colours, yellow, red, blue, delve us into the soul-searching of daydreaming characters, both melancholic and full of hope. This is to whom the artist dedicates her work, to those who have inspired her curiosity to go and scratch beneath the surface of what we see. Objects of complete discovery, her compositions "grow" in the same way as the characters they represent, and renew the issues of perception each time. "Thus, you must start again, smudge it out and discover each time…" she concludes.
