(Isabelle Guillet-Bouloc)
Nature is an infinite source of inspiration for me: the birds, the sea, the animals, the sailboats on the water. Color has an equally profound impact on my work. I lived in Africa for seven years and was deeply affected by the vivid hues of local clothes as well as the art I would see inside the houses and out in the streets. As a result of my fascination with the changing appearance of light and the rich vibrancy of colors, I create kaleidoscopic visions of predominantly pure tones, through the juxtaposition and superimposition of reminaged sceneries, which I combine with subjects of fauna and flora. Although figurative in essence, my compositions have a distinctive abstract flair. I like to play with realism and abstraction, letting the viewer uncover hidden details in the exuberant dream I have created for them.
