'Shade', 'Ghosts', 'Shutters', 'Canopies', 'Retreat', 'Goodbye', 'Sunset', 'Lost Highway', Oil on wood, 2008

This series was one of the first group of paintings created using a super 8 video still pictures. 

The artist is extracting separate instants of a video in order to recreate a narration using a light technique of layers and blurred surfaces. The characters in this series are floating or almost transparent like the shadow left in everyone's memories after going on a holiday.

Flashback of a moment spent in vacation, snapshots of the children exploring the world, nostalgic recall of family gathering, these paintings evoke something that seems familiar to the viewer. The blurry and glowing technique associated to a palette of yellow, brown and red washed off colours  is a reminder of the faded memories. The viewer is filled with nostalgia as these paintings leaves him an impression of loss, a lost pas, a moment of life incarnated in a snapshot.

The relatively small size and the landscape orientation of this series remind us of the video format. The exposition of these paintings next to each other is an invitation to imagine a personal narration and to reconstitute a sequence of events, guided by the descriptive titles.

Oil painting on paper mounted on canvas 2009

This group of paintings was created during a period of transition for the artist in which she focused on indoor and outdoor spaces, private or public and explored situations of the everyday life. The human presence in those spaces is phantomatic and questions the permanence of objects and people in time and space.

The absence characterise those paintings. The notion of time seems to be illusive and the paintings capture an instant frozen in time.

'Snow', a large painting presenting a group of people gathered under an umbrella while a heavy blanket of snow lays all around them, we could almost hear the muffled sound of snow crushing under those fresh foot steps. 

'Casino', the emptiness of the space, chairs and tables are vacant, there is no more noises, everything is still, who has ever observed that suspended moment in time and questioned their perception of the reality, the permanence of objects in space and time.

The series of paintings question the viewer in his presence and his own finitude.
