"No art without creation, no art without emotion".

Entirely self-taught, Marie G has been painting for some twenty years. Her world is invariably linked to her childlike soul, which she nurtures through her art. As a child, her destiny seemed mapped out, since drawing classes were her favorite. Marie was already fascinated by comic strip characters, and sometimes covered the walls of the family home with her drawings. Later, she worked in advertising, but never forgot her desire to create, which became even more apparent with the birth of her second child. Little by little, orders came in, Marie gained confidence and took part in art fairs all over Europe.

Very close to nature and sensitive to the ecological cause, Marie uses only recycled materials, which she transforms into supports for her works. She frequents vintage fairs and flea markets to hunt out old magazines, some of whose advertisements she uses as the basis for her collages. Her main source of inspiration comes from Looney Toons and vintage Disney characters, whose joy and humor she seeks to bring to the fore. During her contemplative walks, she recovers pallets, driftwood and glass. She draws her character in pencil, then paints with acrylic paint. A thick varnish applied with a knife completes her work, giving it a glossy finish.
