Painting Sur les dunes 3 by Lamiel | Painting Figurative Mixed Landscapes

Lamiel began drawing from a very young age. As a teenager she tried her hand at collage and, using magazine clippings, she created works in a pop art style. After a diploma in fine arts she joined a workshop in terra cotta sculpture and drawing from live models. Drawn to materials, Lamiel began working with volume. Meanwhile, a great desire for adventure led her to undertake numerous trips when she was able: New York, Tunisia, Senegal, Egypt, Mali, Morocco, Tasmania… Even today she continues to travel whenever she can. In Mali, Lamiel was fascinated by this all-encompassing land and fell in love with its purity: the landscape is huge, empty, motionless and contrasts with the teeming life. The bustle of the market, the majestic bodies of the women, the nomads living along the river: these images will pervade her memory forever. During her travels she collected inspiration that she brought back in the photographs she took.
