Michèle Costa | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Michèle Costa
  • France
A self-taught painter and engraver, Michèle spent her childhood and adolescence in Eastern France. When she was seventeen, she left everything to travel through Europe and Asia. Those few years spent away from home were important for her transition into adulthood. She discovered other cultures and had some wonderful human encounters. These memories would remain etched in her memory. \n Back in France, she settled in the Dauphine region where she practised black and white photography before dedicating herself more actively to painting. She tried her hand at watercolours and finally collage, from which she developed a very personal technique: the paper is immersed into a bath of water and oil paint. \n A detour to Southern France brought light and energy to her compositions. In Sète, Michèle met many artists. Then a new need for change led her to move to the Ardèche region, where she has now been living for three years. \n Her career is like her painting - always in movement. The artist refuses to be grounded by anything lasting or definite. Moments of solitude at her workshop are accompanied by ephemeral meetings that are necessary for her art; a vital breath of life which is essential to her. A sense of sharing is also a trait of her personality and she freely passes on her knowledge during fine arts workshops. \n Painting is for her ""an existential necessity"" and the whole world is a source of inspiration (nature, music…) \n Michèle does not impose an interpretation on the viewer in order to give him free reign to his imagination. She assembles colours and shapes according to her emotions. The choice of abstraction has become evident for her. The artist uses oil paints for their sensuality. Suggestive, her art is a universe of materials and impressions behind which infinite possibilities lie hidden.
