Lolitas (2022) Painting by Céline Pasteur

I live and work in the Monts du Lyonnais.
Originally from higher mountains (Savoie), since my earliest childhood drawing has been both a refuge (from winter storms as an intern) and a means of communication, of opening up to others. The poetry of the image was able to express the complexity of words I didn't yet have...
I've always loved building with my hands, tinkering with wood, earth and whatever I could find around me, making little mechanisms... creating a world out of little things.
I've been a graphic designer and art director since 2002, and I'll be back with my brushes in 2021.
ARTISTIC APPROACH
"To the end of your life, you will carry your childhood, its fables and its tears, its bells and its fears." Andrée Chedid
I want to "attack the mask of the innate" and the one created by society. To go beyond appearances. Read through a face, read through an image. Denounce the preconceived notions of beauty; external beauty does not abolish pain, emotions, ... inner beauty, the whole human being that we are.
What's more, I place man in his miserable context in the face of nature's grandeur. He is only for a time. And he must realize that he is no more. Everything is a memory. And in these fantasized images, has he really been?
I'm a witness to the body and the senses. As an artist, I materialize my share of humanity and universality.
