ARTISTIC APPROACH

AGNES ANTONIO’s use of photography, painting and drawing allows her embrace the beauty in the ephemeral nature of things and beings. She is curated and featured artist on www.saatchiart.com

I Live and work in Paris and Dinard, France.

I like to play with the limits of the figurative, creating different universes.
My favorite subjects are nature, landscapes but also relationships between human beings as depicted in my series of couples.
My drawings in graphite use a deliberately reduced palette, where I decline all shades from deep black to almost transparent gray.
Foliage, flowers, plants are always mysterious, questioning perception.
My drawings have been compared to aquatint. While I'd never seen my work that way, I imagine it could be a legacy of my school years, during which I practiced etching and loved drawing as a medium.
About my artistic influences, I particularly appreciate the paintings of the Victorian era, and in particular Pre-Raphaelite painters, John Everett Millais and John William Waterhouse as well as the 17th century Dutch, more specifically Johannes Veermer's genre scenes.
Regarding contemporary art, I admire the work and approaches of artists such as Gerhard Richter, Edward Hopper, Tony Oursler, Anish Kapoor, Bill Viola, Andy Goldsworthy as well as Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
