Atelier d’artiste Joëlle Kem Lika

"To look... to feel... to manifest my love of nature, its power, its orgasmic energy, a life impulse, which gives birth and expresses itself in an infinite number of forms: flowers, sky light, solar flares, shimmering water... an "ocean" painter, I like to capture the wave at the moment it explodes or shines under the lights....

I like the vibration that comes from the tension between figurative and abstract.
The absence of a defined frame, the imprecision of horizon lines, floating focal points, close-up shots, saturation of the field, bright colours like nature, knife work, allow me to open a door to the Imaginary, the infinite.... mine, that of the spectator...

Acrylics on canvas, paper, watercolours, Indian ink or colours, I have chosen techniques of immediacy, of the explosion of energy, with rapid drying, which require a sustained rhythm, a subtle play between mastery and letting go, intention and surprise. To capture the essence of this life drive... ancestral and so contemporary.

After having created 2 galleries, in Paris, and near Chablis, I settled in Lacanau, and work a lot abroad : Usa, (New York, Houston, Raleigh, Washington, Miami...), London, Rome, Berlin....

This place is a studio, in which I will paint, and receive visits with pleasure.
