NEWCOMER 2008
The prize awarded by Federation Nationale de la Culture Francaise for the work The Fantasy of Louis Vuitton
"The work, which manages reality with ease and disciplined
composition, is well arranged on the canvas. The artist brings forth
several elements, whose refined copies on the canvas are faithful to
realism. The drawing is mastered, the palette elegant (self-evident
cf. the theme) and balanced. The light effects, the perspective and
the transparency of the glasses make the work a masterfully controlled
creation. The touch of the brush is calm and yet vivacious.
Congratulations on this stylish exercise that shows respect to the recognized
brand with finesse, almost hyperrealism. The artist deserves the attention
of us all... Let us follow her with interest."
