Valérie Cebokli | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Valérie Cebokli
  • France
As a child, Valérie isolates herself to draw, paint, collect objects and treasures of all kinds. She has fun assembling pebbles, shells and sticks. From kindergarten to high school, her drawings are displayed in classrooms and her paintings are exhibited. Her favorite activity is looked at and appreciated by all, which confirms her in this way.\nAfter a literary baccalaureate, she chose an artistic course of study at the University of Human Sciences of Strasbourg then at the School of Art and Design of Nancy. After graduating, she specialized in Plastic Arts and became a visual artist for children. With them she works on the themes of sensory discovery, the sign and the trace. Over the years, she has become more and more involved in personal painting. Valérie uses acrylic on canvas combined with a mixed technique: paper, chalk, felt-tip pen, graphite, cut-out book extracts. The color is spread then drawn, blurred and scraped. Valérie lacerates the canvases: her paintings are real experimental battlefields. \In a second step, she writes fragments of ideas and associates them with colors or shapes. She draws lines and frames what is to be seen. Valerie invites the viewer to travel through her inner landscapes through recurring themes. \Numbers are an integral part of her work and recall her main subject: Time. They punctuate her paintings like constantly repeated events. Numbers are placed on the canvas to indicate dates, places or coordinate points. Each canvas becomes a snapshot of the artist's life (a feeling or an emotion) to ward off the relentless flight of time. Her work is inspired by artists such as Mario Merz (20th century, Italian), Roman Opalka (20th century, Polish), Antoni Tàpies (20th century, Spanish). Valerie enjoys creating curiosity, questioning the observer who tries to understand the meaning of her works.
