Smoke Devil is a woman Photography by Marjolaine Vuarnesson

Since I can hold a pencil, I have never stopped drawing what surrounds me, as I see or feel things. I remember times spent with my grandmother, a miniaturist painter, I spent hours watching her paint.

After having annoyed all my teachers by drawing on my course notebooks, in 1994, at the age of 14, I met the manager of a saddlery in Saint Arnoult en Yvelines and offered to exhibit 2 charcoal drawings.
A horse owner notices me and asks me to portray his own horses.
Satisfied with my work, he then introduced me to a friend who organizes art exhibitions for the Handi-Cheval association in Chartres.
It is for me the beginning of enriching encounters that will take me from exhibition to exhibition.
In 1995 I started wood carving with a horse carved out of a piece of oak.
Then in 1996, I tried plaster and different techniques that I improvised, always on the theme of the horse.
Finally, from 1999, I began to work on the human body, the curves of women... I focused on the contrast between shadow and light, a color palette limited to black, yellow and red.

Since 2004, I fell into photography, first by capturing landscapes and a little macro, then the discovery of some software offered me new possibilities: the image beyond reality.
My hardware is a Sony SLT-A77.
