Every woman carries within her a natural, instinctive force, rich in creative gifts and immemorial knowledge. Clarissa Pinkola Estés

The young Amélie Bancourt grew up in a family of artists, with a pencil in her hand. Encouraged in her creativity, she expresses her vision of reality through drawing. At the Beaux-Arts, she studied textile design and discovered her love for patterns, repetition of forms and composition. Initially an illustrator and graphic designer, she decided in 2021 to devote herself fully to her vocation and activity as a painter. Today, finally fulfilled in her new studio in Strasbourg, she also transmits her passion for illustration by teaching it at the MJM Graphic Design.

Amélie's influences are multiple and range from pre-Raphaelite painters such as Boecklin or Burne-Jones to the Douanier Rousseau or Sonia Delaunay. Her artist's name "Alie Loizel" recalls the cartoonist Régis Loisel, her first childhood crush. Like a ritual, she creates in her bubble, with the music blasting, before spreading her acrylics and shaping her range of colors. After a pencil sketch, she lets her emotions guide her and gives birth to a new character. She becomes attached to each face and imagines its life, its character and its destiny. Concerned about the future of future generations and the place of gender in society, the artist depicts a colorful spectrum of souls without worrying about their sexual orientation. As a reflection of our time, it is as many imaginary portraits rich in diversity that she exposes with passion to her public.
