About the artist Véronique Colombo

Threadlike silhouettes of characters, signs, traces of primitive writing, totemic figures….. The works of Véronique have abandoned all storyline, all detail, to open up a space for meditation and contemplation. 
The main point is in the working of the material, the natural pigments that the painter uses to highlight the expressive density of the layers.

Her background: Born in Marseille in 1962, it was in 1990 that she decided to live her passion for painting. This self-taught artist wants to be free of any movement or doctrine.
She exhibits throughout Provence and also in Paris. Side by side with her creative activity she is involved with numerous associations for the distribution and promotion of art.

Veronique uses natural pigments to highlight the expressive density of coatings.
Determinedly, she takes off paint as she lightens and scrapes looking for original structure. Traces of the spatula create rhythms that occur more or less similar from one work to another, mixed with different graphics, signs, prints ... ..
In recent years, she decided to integrate photography with paintings and understook research to mix these 2 complementary modes of expression. Thanks to these pictures, she can express a figurative subject in an abstract atmosphere.
It is a new artistic approach that enables creative freedom and arouses new emotions.
She is inspired by legendary couples and pictures of the early 20th century to create her artworks about the passion of love.
