Painting le coussin rouge by Mezan de Malartic Virginie | Painting Figurative Oil

The French artist Virginie Mézan de Malartic qualifies her creation as "painting of beings" as the contrasts modelled on man occupy an important position. Exploring natural or artificial light, playing with areas of shadow and light, allows the artist to update a panel of emotions and feelings. Fly-on-the-wall, the characters that make up her paintings find themselves frozen in a moment, as if suspended outside of time, interrupting their course and leaving a place for reflection and introspection. Virginie Mézan de Malartic invokes in her practice a form of verticality that symbolises the necessity for everyone to distance themselves from their environment, their existence and their world.
