Course

Born in the Gers on September 10, 1964, I currently live and work in the South of France, in Pézenas.
Back in France after many years spent abroad, I undertake graduate studies in economics and finance and it is with a DEA in Banking and Finance that I go back to work in Reunion and then in Madagascar. New return in 1997, and this time I choose the path of creation and decide to devote myself to painting.
Self-taught, my work is steeped in travel and the sum of all these places inhabited since my childhood. I first move towards an abstract work, the canvas will become a Land of asylum for a whole profusion of elements, a world to be born. Over time, I invent my own language in painting. The fragility of beings and things, the dream and the sweetness that we sometimes lack, the evocation of things hidden in us, the spirit of feelings felt, of this pictorial language that makes matter speak will emerge a certain figuration with characters mixed with abstraction and colors from elsewhere.
My "lived imagination" came gradually and naturally to meet ordinary life. There is no longer a border between dream and reality, feeling and experience, visible and invisible. Painting to reinvent my way of being in the world and finally decide the color of the sky.

Anne Guillon is a woman and an artist, with a sensibility on the surface that she expresses in her painting with rigorous work and extraordinary virtuosity. His inspirations: memories of his childhood spent in countries where light and color explode, Japanese masters, a poem, music probably ... the play of light and shadow and musical writing are developed in several series of paintings which, like a music box seem to integrate fictional partitions of classical music, opera, jazz, andante, allegro… a taste of paradise… a soft and restful atmosphere… In front of the canvas, she delves into the expression of her feelings, his emotions are thrown on the canvas with force and delicacy, the work becomes his double ... Shadows arise from the material, like specters, mysterious shapes out of who knows where ... Transform color into light and vice versa , exploiting the forces of shadow and light in a strong sensory intoxication seem to be his expression engines to give birth to warm compositions, at the fronti era of abstraction and figurative. Tables that refer to the human soul, the fate of beings and things, the passage of time that passes, inexorably ... She seeks, persists, resumes the journey of the day before, traps light in the hollow of the matter. Ocher, brown, beige, blue or delicate green, transparent, are superimposed in light layers in resonance to poems or musical chords, refined overlays give an impression of depth and delicacy. Anne Guillon's work can only be felt deeply!
