«Toute vision du monde est un aveu autobiographique »

All vision of the world is an autobiographical confession

Boris Cyrulnik

Madi est une artiste peintre qui développe son style au travers d’expositions, collaborations et fresques murales.

Elle se nourrit de fragments du réel pour construire son imaginaire. Faire une peinture est la résultante de cette collecte, une organisation picturale qui vient caresser l’oeil du spectateur.

« Une couleur libère un parfum, une teinte me fait penser à un sourire, une ligne incarne de la musicalité. Je ressens le même phénomène lorsque que je cuisine, j’associe selon une envie fulgurante, je goûte, je suis investie toute entière et je déguste. Le goût détermine l’expérience, il en est de même pour une toile. Je visualise un chemin, un parcours, des ingrédients qui s’associent et leur dosage est intuitivement crucial. »

Born in Antibes, 1987.

Bachelor’s degree ENSAV, La Cambre, Brussels, Belgium.                                    

She’s currently living in Lisbon, in Portugal.

Madi develops her own style through graphic research while multiplying collaborations, paintings & murals.

She's constantly trying to evolve. At the beginning her work was in black and white, full of meticulous details. Her production of drawings is obsessive as a travel inside her head, showing imaginary characters, textures, sensations, dreams & fantasies.
She immerses herself in a colorfull production, less controlled, unexpected and way more instinctive. Her work is guided by the spontaneity.

It’s an intimate and endearing process. She paints because she needs to. The viewer enjoy the conception of a private universe free from any boundaries. As if she was searching for an absolute peace which only the act of painting could fulfill.
