« Art is the meeting of light and matter, a silent dialogue in which each reflection reveals a part of our being »
An emerging visual artist renowned for her creativity and emotionally rich works, Brigitte Dravet stands out for her use of gold leaf on raw textures. Her artistic approach is a dialogue between light and matter, between textures and reflections. Her paintings, inspired by the sea and sky, invite us to explore minimalist, poetic landscapes; her palette evokes her inner life; the great masters of Asian art, from whom she draws inspiration, call this impulse “the breath”, the one that animates nature in all its truth. The gold of the spirit emerging from the gleams of the depths reminds us that there is always a light within us and all around us, even in the darkness. Committed to Upcycling-art, she gives a second life to mannequins, transforming them into luminous works of art. Her innovative, eco-friendly approach makes her a contemporary and visionary artist.
“The artist's technique is splendid, the materials she uses, gold leaf on canvas, and her artistic procedure are evocative of her style. Her paintings are unprecedented, original and whole experiences, we are immersed, integrated and plunged inside the liquid element, to water or its evaporation which is air.” Anastasia Mitrogogou, Gallery Assistant (Podgorny Robinson Gallery and Perrotin Gallery):
"I was very touched by her work and felt a light in the midst of the dark!"
