Le photographe et son modèle 2 (2014) Painting by Anne Malvy

Anne Malvy, painter and designer, was born in 1962. She has developed a singular and captivating artistic journey, shaped by an unwavering passion for figuration and a deep relationship with her art.

Based and working in Paris, Anne Malvy has always been attracted to representation from nature. She categorically refuses the use of visual media such as photographs, preferring to immerse herself directly in the reality around her. Her technique, rich and varied, is deployed through dry pastel, charcoal, graphite, Indian ink and wash, which she applies with mastery on paper or mounted paper.

For Anne, the creative process is a deeply intuitive and organic experience. When she draws or paints with pastel, she gives free rein to her gesture, without any prior directed thought. This approach allows him to capture the very essence of his subject, thus creating a figuration that is both present and elusive, where the intellect is thwarted and the emotion pure.

Anne Malvy's favorite subject is the human being, and it is in the unique relationship she has with her models that she draws her inspiration. As Giacometti said, she seeks to "see by drawing", appropriating reality to give it sustainability over time through her works.

A graduate of the Fine Arts of Valenciennes and the Esmod Nice school, Anne Malvy has acquired a solid artistic training which is reflected in the depth and quality of her work.
