Anne-Sophie Fontenelle

A  woman is a forest
IIn this series, I create a parallel between a woman's intimacy and nature's hidden sanctuary.
It's a world of fragments: a mouth, the sparkle of a gaze, eyes that open or close onto the world.
Here, the body doesn't impose itself; it seems to fade away like a fragile apparition,
a memory that the mist is about to carry away.
It's a sensory exploration born from the silence of lockdown. In this period of uncertainty, when the lack of touch and human interaction was sorely felt, painting became my connection to the world.
Behind these veiled gazes and deep undergrowth, a question remains: what does this inner nature conceal from us?
And in its silence, what does it offer us to soothe our anxieties?
