Les toits de Paris

In this series, the artist invites us to the rooftops of Paris on a rainy day. The City of Light has been enveloped in gray. No life presents itself to us, only Zinc, slate or even brick or stone. This evocation suggests a feeling of melancholy, a poetic and nostalgic atmosphere.

​

The artist deliberately chose a rainy day to capture this other side of the city’s charm. She achieves a subtle aesthetic, an atmosphere charged with sadness, nostalgia and solitude.

​

The artist wants to forget the energy of the city below to concentrate on the architecture of the roofs, their impermanence.

​

To do this, she installed herself behind a window to use the rain which hits her as an artistic filter. This filter made of glass and rain creates a mysterious aura on each image, giving the Parisian roofs an elusive texture that is a little distorted and blurred.

​

The roofs then take on a different texture. Abstraction invites itself. Shades of gray scale down to black.

​

The rain through this window created another reality, wrote another story, created another imagination.
