Aurélie Dekeyser

In this series, I seek to translate the movement of the contemporary world. In urban or natural universes, I capture the tension of an action that touches me and immortalizes it . For this, I create characters in action or sometimes in a meditative state and capture the suspended moment of this emotion. I call these tables "snapshots". In general, I start from a strong mental image, I accompany this image with photographic research, preparatory sketches. Acrylic allows me to improvise the composition and the overall setting of the scene (progressive retouching). Then I densify and enrich my painting with the smoothness, transparencies, luminosity and color power of oil paint.
