Anne-Sophie Fratello Gestural painting

Enter painting with poetic inspiration

​

Attracted by the internalization of painting in the emotions that return the poetic image, I learn painting with the impressionist painters.

 

Painting from Nature gives me a new vision of reality. Discover what is revealed behind appearances. Learn to perceive, to feel an atmosphere, an inner state in phase with the situation presented. I then seek to understand the invisible lines and their links through the image perceived by emotion.

 

By letting go little by little, I learn to feel by discovering this other way of seeing.

Feel the energies of the plant world

​

With Nature, I learn to capture its energies, a language thanks to my feelings which are refined. Gradually, I experience great joy in letting go more and a strong attraction for these multi-sensory experiences. Because I feel that it is an access to a much broader and more subtle understanding of the world.

Free myself from poetic images towards the creative breath

 

I feel the desire to rely on my interiority. A path to self-encounter, interconnected with Nature, listening to the creative breath that is expressed between Heaven and Earth.

​

By discovering Chinese painting, I learn to breathe and free my thoughts to listen to the silence. A first step towards the spirituality of Art which is confirmed to me with the painter Kandinsky and his work "On the spirituality of art and painting in particular".   

​

To pursue this informal route, towards this interiority, I have to free myself layer after layer from all these duties, norms and rules that have educated me, surround me and shape the world. The discovery of the abstract expressionism current teaches me to appropriate this freedom.

​

I discover then that it is not the goal that drives me, but the process of creation in a spiritual approach. The process refocuses me in the present, with the audacity of what I do not know and what I will discover... The time of creation has no beginning or end. It offers a very positive experience of oneself, of others and of the world.

​

What I learn from life, the blossoming of my interiority allow me to mature my gesture. I don't paint with any image in mind. I work to increase this inner openness to release and share an authentic exploration of Nature and myself. I feel each work as an open door to a new stage of this journey. The more I advance on this spiritual exploration, the more my creation evolves. It is not a representation of the world. It is a traveling song  through the stars that comes to whisper in the heart of the one who receives it.
