chemin d'embuches (2022) Painting by Elisabeth Pierret

Elisabeth Pierret, lives between Sarlat and Sanary-sur-Mer. She discovered painting in 1997, when she was going through a difficult period. His encounter with painting was a lifeline that a friend gave him, inviting him to a painting class. She still remembers the advice that her first teacher gave her that day: “Close your eyes, let your interiority guide your hand on the canvas”.

Painting reveals it to itself and 039; lives. Elisabeth approaches painting through the abstract and never stops learning. She evolves in contact with several teachers, learns the technique, the symbolism of colors, shapes. She acquires mastery of gesture and tries her hand at figuration, but it is in spontaneity, imagination and poetry that she finds her place. She is particularly influenced by the work of Kandinsky, Klee, impressed by Turner or even Chu Teh Chun.

Faced with the white canvas, she lets herself be carried away, “by my emotions, my interiority.” Like automatic writing, his hand takes control. “I like to turn chaos into an emotional message and tell a story.” Her painting is experimentation, she plays with colors, materials, precipitations of oil on ink. She lets herself be surprised by these singular representations of nature, her greatest source of inspiration. “Life, nature, sound, color, music are all universal.”
