VERONIQUE FIEVRE PAINTINGS
To me, to paint is to converse with colour and material, to put and reput, erase,
scratch in order to catch a glimpse of a place, a landscape, an atmosphere...to
belazy, to let me invade, to find emotion.
I would like my painting to be felt like a poem.
AN OVERSENSITIVE PAINTING
To begin with, my painting used to be figurative but, little by little, it has become
more impulsive, spontaneous, oversensitive. I have swapped my brushes for palette
knives, so that my more straightforward movements would mark the canvas with
scrapings, scratches and traces. I like to play with transparencies and material,
letting forgotten colours appear under the superimposed layers.
My abstract pictures, though giving hints of reality, are based upon geometrical
figures. Simplicity of lines stood up to me with peace-bringing landscape. My skies
are smooth, even, but I need to oppose “smoothness with roughness, using material like
a mineral texture. I enjoy translating the feelings I get in the countryside...
walking on the sand, among the heather, seeing gorse shivering in the wind...My
favorite subjects are urban panoramas, houses and buildings put together like childish
blocks sticked in a steep landscape.I paint with knives of different widths, that
allows me to press more or less heavily on the paper or the canvas, to take layers off
or to put some on. I use oil on canvas and acrylic on paper.
Freedom, letting go, surprise, mastering, chance and enchantment...such are the words
of my work.
ABSTRACT PAINTINGS THAT MAKE US TRAVEL
My inspiration comes from everywhere. Sometimes, as I am walking on the street or in
the country, I am struck by architectural forms or by two well matching colours. I
pick and store images and sensations. I may take photos, to revive my memories.But
more often, I do know where I go, I superimpose colours and forms, in search of
adventure, and soon, details do spring up, and the abstract matter slowly unveils its
mystery. I am carried along, where I did not intend to go. This is a very nice
travel...
MY ARTISTIC WAY OF WORK
The more I paint the more I know that the strenght of things, forms and colours lays
on unaffectedness and sincerity. I try to fix in my work the reality of a place, a
moment or an emotion. That’s why I want to show reserve, economy and relevance, like a
funambulist walking on his tightrope. I must refuse superfluity, and ostentation in
