"Dreamlike"

Malo A., was born in 1980, she lives and works in Burgundy.
Her work is a journey into the wildlife. She paints it in a realistic and naturalist vein. However, like orthodox religious icons, her bestiary seems to be embedded in the gold that covers the background of most of her paintings. In doing so, she seems to be venerating the nature that is so often mistreated by human beings.
Her work also draws from the decorative art of the 1930s and the great animal painters of this period such as Georges-Lucien Guyot, Paul Jouve or Gaston Suisse. Who knew, like her, how to emphasize the aesthetics of animal representation through supple and powerful lines.
Her technique is inspired by traditional Japanese art, Western illumination and modern art. Through an illusionist pictorial technique, it is a clever mixture of ancient know-how, allowing to give life to easel paintings as well as screens, and recently to totems, thus taking us towards decorative art. This original approach and sensitivity have been developed over the years, through numerous trips (Japan, Iceland, Thailand, etc.), meetings, studies and professional training.
Her love for heritage, calligraphy and illumination also led her to pursue graduate studies in conservation-restoration of cultural property.
