An invitation to peace

The quest for the uncomplicated, cleansing through emptiness,
but this no-clutter exercise is neither too frigid nor too minimal.
Within the confines of abstraction, man resurfaces, with emotion and life. The lines of Del Aor vibrate, the geometric figures shimmer,
everything is pervaded by sensuality.
Harmony is the result of tension between empty and full.
With Del Aor, emptiness creates a strand of meditation:
her latest, very sober paintings use a palette restricted to primary colours, whose restful symmetry is an invitation to inner peace.
The eye wanders in pace with the subtle correspondence between volumes and planes, succumbs to the charm of balance of force between the materiality of her works and the capture of the immateriality of space.

V. R. Midi Libre

Basking in light

She operates through an uncluttering process,
stripping it all down as if searching for the ultimate line.
Basking in light, her colours
(or rather her colour, as her paintings are sheer light)
and her signs are as indescribable as happiness,
that she strives to render perceptible.
The composition is simple and harmonious, even harmonizing, as visiting her paintings effectively leads to this sort of contagion.
A vital journey in reverse: you run towards childhood with an innocence uncomplicated by a pure heart and years of work.
Her painting smiles at the heart.

Jaume Galmés, poète catalan

Where did the water-lily fit in?

Flat tints set themselves apart from such soul-searching.
This concern is abruptly filed down.
There remains just a rectilinear layer, completely washed out and needlessly without relief.
The flat tint is a unique colour, a background that needs caring for, something brilliant.
Then the surprise arrival of shadow, the first,
which finally delivers verticality.
The upright luminous split is rounded on the surface
and is presented differently, hammered and sculpted perhaps.
The dormant water-lily delivers itself, it swims,
spreads and should disappear.
But it keeps ringing out, it radiates
and is not offended by anyone or anything.
There is no disappearance, just the immobile act of painting.

Catherine TOPALL, directrice centre d'art

Daring freedom

A name of light and gold for a woman artist and her original work in every sense of the word. Primal art of virginal sensuality, blending a play on matter, the density of colours and the purity of shapes. A path that comes from afar and still has a long way to go.

The choice is clear: that of daring freedom.
An amazing and radiant little woman who delivers her bright light with power and finesse, where lines rush forward and contrast on changing matter, run the risk and give rhythm to space until it vibrates with the most daring colours in a subtle harmony. Her painting is coloured vibration, full of joy, audacity and... mystery. Sober and sensual, uncluttered and generous, it plunges you into a dense, personal history where nothing is linear, but everything is fun. Take the time to place yourself inside her paintings and her colours, the way you breathe in a zest of folly, wisdom, audacity, work, adventure, solitude, otherness, silence, secrecy and openness.
All is tactile, olfactive and coloured.

You will not emerge indifferent from this kind of encounter: the work has body, enough to send a vibration through your own. You might even discover just how much beauty, grandeur, play and radiance there is inside you. Quite simply. Youth is timeless. Not to be missed.
The first of its kind
