For the past year and a half, ArtQuarium has been MY bubble of air, 3 hours during which I find myself and discover myself, questioning what I expect from my creations and what they ultimately reflect back to me. And all this in a welcoming, studious setting, to the sound of a variety of music that is often another great discovery.
And none of this would be possible without the teachers and their unique personalities, enabling them to tailor their judicious and precise advice to each individual.
Thanks to their knowledge, which will always amaze me, their attentiveness and their encouragement to persevere, I was able to "confront" shapes, structures, compositions and the language of colors, all precise techniques that seemed so incomprehensible to me....!
Learning to get out of the frame... in a structure...! what a challenge for me! Imagining a calm painting, full of roundness and soothing tones... and then finding myself with characters and landscapes from elsewhere, in very "petulant" colors, a little psychedelic...! So many questions!
Today, I can navigate a structure with enthusiasm and wonder, my head full of ideas, shapes and colors.
Life sometimes offers us the chance to meet some very special people, and ArtQuarium is one of them.
