Who am I

Marie Kovacs - Artiste peintre, oeuvres d'art, dessinatrice & photographe

I was born somewhere in Ile de France at the end of the 80s. Naturally dreamy and introverted, I have always taken advantage of the slightest moment of solitude to indulge in one of my favorite activities: Seeing, observing, contemplating, reflecting on the world around me...

This introspective attitude was conducive to creation.

 

Very quickly, I became passionate about learning to draw and paint. Always at work on a concrete realization, I practiced on my loved ones by creating disguises for them and I put everyone on stage in sets out of my imagination. My soul, my heart and my sensitive mind were nourished by it… Thus, one thing leading to another, supported by my parents and encouraged by my teachers, I was able to study plastic arts and morphology.

​

One fine day, still very young, driven by the spirit of rebellion specific to adolescence, I decided to take my destiny into my own hands and settle in the Parisian jungle to follow a course in fashion. My main driving force: combining pleasure and creative instinct.

At the same time, still driven by the desire to paint, I put on the canvas the phantasmagorical images that I drew from my readings. This is how I was able to make my first exhibition at the ARTE CONTE gallery on the revisited theme of genesis...

​

Since then, I apply myself to put in my work in the center the spirit, the famous 21 grams...

My work is populated by human creatures, real or imaginary, vegetable, animal, which evoke, between dream and reality, a certain impenetrable mystery. Free electron, I still draw today from my readings, my questions and the subjects that do not obsess the material of my inspiration.

​

Painting, photo, acrylic, oil, watercolour, Indian ink; the medium often changes according to my emotions or the moment. In a world of matter, I have the will to transmit unconscious emotions on a background of melancholy.

I express myself at the border of surrealism, always in a figurative way and I offer a timeless invitation to reverie, conducive to questioning the feelings that bind us to each other.

​

In 2020 a new personal exhibition is born - DEDALE(s) - a series of intuitive and psychedelic paintings and drawings evoking one of my favorite themes: individuality in society in the form of fractal variation. The passage of time is thus frozen. Bodies and floating souls reproduce, perpetuate themselves, and question the spectator.

Later, my LES JARDINS DE SAKURA series sounds like an invitation to an imaginary journey to Japan, a country that perfectly combines tradition and modernity. Over there, there still remains a frozen time, a sensitive plate on which strong souls appear.

Since 2021 The timeless Parisian elegance series is a series of vintage black and white photos where I strive to be timeless with the complicity of my models.

​

Pursuing my quest for beauty and form, today I continue my wanderings according to inspiration. My relentless artistic work and my passion for graphic creation have led me, since 2022, on several projects including a series of photographic paintings!Tokyo girls! in color where I apply myself to the creation of sets, staging, styling, hairdressing and shooting.

​

Also in 2022 The Végtalis Glossarium series is hatching in my dreams. A poetic dream imposes itself on me:

Take a nap on a flower bed. It's like spring, like a burst of youth...

I let the watercolor take possession of the colors and the shape to then meticulously make my line go, sometimes sinuous, sometimes sharp like "stained glass".

This poetic series inspires me poems that will be the subject of a collection "the forty enchantments of matrimony".

Collection which is presented in the form of a tribute to the feminine creative principle, to the woman with a capital F!

Its vocation is the poetic highlighting of dreamlike heritage.
