Painter Cécile Colombo (1969) followed Applied Art courses
at the Beaux-Arts and continued her training as a visual artist in
Architectural Environment and Urban Decoration. Her workshop is located in Gémenos,
in the south of France.
Cécile Colombo has always worked in mixed media. She prepares her canvas in mounted paper, sticks colored papers, fabrics, ink and faded paint to give a general coloring to her canvas.
Once the background is reinvented, she draws on it with Indian ink, walnut husk, colored ink or acrylic. Watercolor colors are enhanced with oily or dry pastels.
All these materials give her paintings an atmosphere of
fantasy and lightness. Inspired by the Mediterranean, Cécile takes photos of
details, balconies, fruits, stones and plants which she mixes in her paintings
to transcribe the atmosphere of the place. The suggestion, the material, the
seemingly innocuous detail reveal a very inspired pictorial universe that
offers us magical moments.
