The foundation of my artworks on aluminium is composed of curated images taken over the past few years during road trips, hikes and underwater dives. Each image started as one of my photograph. The emotion of witnessing a special time and place is authentic and will be the thread till the final unique hand carved artwork is produced. Through a process of addition, subtraction, manipulation and endless reevaluation, digital and physical, a completed final image is born and will remain unique.
Embedded in this series are references to magical realism, geometrical abstraction, abstract expressionism and modernism. Feeling the power and the fragility of Nature around me induces a sense of sacred which translates in an alternate reality. By entering imagination and calm, stillness and peace are the destination. My hand carved works echo this spiritual journey into such incomparable places. In the final touch each mark is a shard of light.
The artwork is framed with an aluminium frame that finishes the presentation in a contemporary style. It is ready to hang.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
French born Australian artist, Beatrice is creating poetic images in her studio tucked in the Noosa hinterland. From a previous engineering career as a geophysicist working for a large international corporation she decided to release her inner creative voice and call Australia home. Starting a decade ago, her practice is twofold. She paints large aerial views of our planet to the point of abstraction using large gestural and wet on wet techniques of mixed media.
The other side of her practice is to hand carve in her unique way her own original images of the Australian nature she resonates with using a detailed meditative precision. Carving lines and making marks in a subtractive, erosive motion on rag paper and aluminium, Beatrice opens up the narration and the poesy of each of her original pieces. Her language refers to a wide range of universal marks found on topographic maps, tattoos, embroidery, lines and dot painting, lino carving techniques and more. With those irreversible unique mark makings, Beatrice releases the raw surface from the ink to weave the stories captured into the images. Each of those marks is a new shard of light. She bridges the digital with the artist manual touch in a unique way. Her artworks are all originals.
