Communication (2023) Painting by Celi Tessier

Self-taught,

In my early thirties, I explored different mediums: watercolor, oil, acrylic and clay sculpture.

As well artists I've worked on almost every subject. Fifteen years later after a week of reflection I turned to more personal themes such as dance, birds, the culture of the first nations of the world.

I favored creativity in my research and I leave to the gaze of amateurs the leisure to bring their own interpretations. My characters are inspired by happy memories. I favor vibrant colors and the sometimes mysterious effect of geometric shapes. Over the years, a mosaic of colors of dazzling light has permeated my works reflecting my passion, love of life and hope for a world of peace and beauty.

All the movement of my being is based on the same concerns: Concern for peace, concern for beauty, concern for love, concern for security, concern for eternity....

The dance, the music that makes us vibrate, which makes us happy, which comforts us, which heals the pains of the soul, which energizes us!

Birds for their fragility, their will to fly always higher and their great momentum of freedom that I wish to build without saying a word.

The first culture of nations and the respect they have for mother earth.

Artistic approach

I like the quick drying time of acrylic which matches my style well.

Over a period of 5 years of research in the studio, I came to work in stages.
