I've started to paint when i was 20, during a long term disease (5 years) called lupus (isn't it a lovely name for a disease ?). I didn't stop painting since then and i decided a while ago to show my work.
I'm a self taugh artist. I paint because of a feeling of need, not because of a concept or opinion about art though i do have a few ones. My work comes from the inside - from the part i don't always know about myself - and which leads to the unconsciousness - mine - and the human kind's one. In this way, i feel close to the raw art. I do think that painting is a matter of physicallity (see the raw art again) - most of the painters talk about the body - theirs - and about sex, desire, fantasy ... Life. But behind this part of painting, there is something else. Something that i guess. About language, about silence and about the things that we cannot say. Why do we paint ? Why do we like the painting ? We can talk, write, and we do. So, there can be, sometimes, lies and silences underneath the layers of paint. We might know it - or not - but in both case, painting is the only available (dealable) way to tell it. That's the moment when painting and art got strong. Stronger than life it seems.
I'm an indoor artist and i(m quite useless at socialising - which doesn't help ... So, i'll use this site in order to make connection with artists and galeries, currators, collectors any any people interesting in art, and especially mine ... !
Before i improve this page, you can see my work on : www.myspace.com/natachafayard
