HANIEH DELECROIX - RENCONTRE ARTISTE - DANS SON ATELIER PARISIEN

PRÉSENTATION

The relationship between the mind and the body, especially the mind of a damaged body, is central to her art. Shades of black and blue predominate in her paintings, particularly intense hues of cobalt, ultramarine, and cerulean, which she usually applies with a palette knife in sweeping strokes, creating abstract forms that look “written”. She favours translucent paper, chosen for its fragility and its symbolic, skin-like quality. “A crack in the paint or a tear in the paper become like a scar", she explains. “That’s life. We always tell children not to touch things or they will break, but in life you have to touch and to take risks.”
