Painting is a vital and emancipatory activity for me. It's a quest for oneself, a confession, between frankness and dissimulation.
Passionate about painting, Anik began practising the fine arts in high school before continuing her education at the National School of Fine Arts in Nancy and the Nicolas Untersteller School of Fine Arts in Metz. In 1992, she left her native Lorraine to settle in Bouches-du- Rhône. During one year, Anik took classes at the Beaux-Arts in Avignon, perfecting her technique whilst giving her paintings a personal touch that was still unexplored. This new contribution to her pictorial approach lead the artist to learn about the practices of art therapy with the objective of providing patients with support in their individual recovery. Since 2009, Anik has been working as head of the art therapy workshop at Saint Paul’s Health Centre in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
Armed with her brushes, acrylic tubes and paper cuttings, Anik Bottichio composes intense painted collages that highlight anonymous characters that she charges with her states of mind to better question her own life.
For several years now, the painter has been working with fragments of newspaper that she carefully selects for their evocative phrases and that she partially covers with material so that certain characters remain legible by transparency, such as subliminal messages or prayers. Executed with tenderness in soft tones, Anik's portraits call out to us with their poignant sincerity.
