The Coming of Age - 6th Exhibition
This personal exhibition is a new challenge for me, I wish to affirm my evolution and my maturity by presenting my new works by myself during this exhibition, I wish to differentiate my work on poster and my work on canvas presented in gallery.
For a long time, all I knew was to be consistent. I understood my limits. But something changed during this year 2022. I was forced to question my "consistency" as well as my perception of the world I live in and the place I want to have in it. This exhibition is thus a small window opened on some of the feelings that I endured, and finally conquered during this period.
Recycling reduces the need to extract, refine, and process raw materials. Instead, used materials are transformed into new products, which saves on the planet's natural resources. As an artist, many of my ideas are on paper, and it's devastating to see that paper production is literally killing our planet through deforestation. As a model, I pay a lot of attention to the fashion posters displayed around Paris.
I saw how every night beautiful posters are immediately thrown away to be replaced by others, again and again. A friend of mine then brought me a big poster from the street, which gave me the idea to experiment with color on paper to see how it transfers, which then turned into my very first piece. I continued to paint on posters, which was not only fun, but also great from an ecological point of view.
