Comment résister à ne pas afficher un sourire devant ce pastel ? L'attitude du modèle vivant nous renvoie à des souvenirs heureux et enfantins : ceux de l'art de la grimace et de la comédie. Les mains sont doigts écartés, paumes grandes ouvertes, positionnées de part et d'autre de la tête, pouces appuyés sur les tempes. L'appendice nasal est affublé d'un nez de clown rouge et est souligné par une moue disgracieuse, mais comique. La posture nous fait oublier la nudité du modèle vivant. Les courbes féminines de la femme sont reléguées au second plan, tellement nous sommes interpellés par l'attitude du personnage. L'artiste a d'ailleurs mis l'accent de matière sur le haut du corps et fortement prononcé bras et main même si l'éclairage est mis sur les seins.

Cette œuvre est un exemplaire unique ; elle est signée par l'artiste. Un certificat d'authenticité sera délivré.

How can we resist smiling at this pastel? The attitude of the live model brings back happy and childish memories: those of the art of grimace and comedy. The hands are spread fingers, palms wide open, positioned on either side of the head, thumbs pressed against the temples. The nasal appendage has a red clown nose and is underlined by an ungainly but comical pout. The posture makes us forget the nudity of the live model. The woman's feminine curves are relegated to the background, so much so that we are challenged by the character's attitude. The artist has emphasised the material on the upper body and strongly pronounced arms and hands, even though the focus is on the breasts.

This work is a unique copy; it is signed by the artist. A certificate of authenticity will be issued.

Maria Josefa was born in Tangiers in 1946 after her parents, Spanish republicans, left their country after the civil war and moved to Morocco. She grew up in a cosmopolitan environment and was nourished by the colours and lights of Africa.

When she was eleven, her family returned to Europe and settled in France. Little by little, the artistic fibre emerges in parallel with her professional activities. A very short period in the aesthetic field allowed her to acquire the touch and sensitivity of the body. Nevertheless, the perceptible lack of human beings was quickly felt and Marijo naturally turned to the elderly, bringing her sensitivity to bodies steeped in experience.

Taking on her affect, exacerbating her emotions while mixing her Andalusian origins, painting and sculpture allow her to retranscribe the strength, vivacity and pain of her roots. It is only since her retirement that Marijo can fully dedicate herself to her artistic passion.

She presents her work at local exhibitions and participates in workshops while continuing to look after her family, with whom she shares her knowledge and love of art.

She then creates an anthology of creations in the form of paintings, drawings in watercolour, acrylic, pastels and charcoal of naked bodies in order to capture their emotions and translate them into expressive lines. The clay modelling gives a new way to translate his vision of the emotion felt towards his living models.

In search of a spontaneity and vitality that she makes sensitive through her brushstrokes, she does not hesitate to tell the story of these bodies - imperfect, twisted, aged - through which fragments of her own history shine through, through her paintings and the work of the clay with her sculptures.
