Sylvie Tual
.
Artist - Samouraï

My paintings are mile-stones. Those landmarks, posted in times of peace, punctuating patches of land, where, the rest of the time, paths are trodden and crossings passed. These pictures are the treasures of my conquest.

These framed images contain and organize, the precious elements that enable me to advance. For example they contain the birth of an idea, a newly visited feeling, or the concretization of a thought process. I find myself faced with a dead-end or a new departure. An end of the world. Turn around or wait some more: another way of finding one’s way. This evidence sums me up.

The paintwork, explorer of my depths, comes back up and drops, to the surface of the canevas, a meaning. A reality is now playing in new colored fields, outdoors.

When they show me the way, these mile-stones are ‘pre-meditations’. Waiting for the right time. 15 days. 3 months. More perhaps. During this period an enigma either sleeps or unravels itself. Time is the ally. As for me, I return to the path of combat, of transformation, of rearrangement. Then, one day, the revelation comes, in all innocence, an unfolding, an occurrence. The narration can begin. The fun starts. Tighten. Unleash tensions. Experiment. Hem in. Allow to emerge. But above all, render the metaphors legible, naturally.

To follow, this is my professional route

He who travels, arrives.

There was a moment where the stage on which I was teaching and thus acting, became too narrow. At that time, I was seeing the countryside, visiting Europe, Africa, Normandy and the United States. But I needed adventure to impregnate my work. This time, my travels took me to Paris.

My original training in haute couture enabled me to penetrate into the world of theatre through costume making : installing forms and colours that would be later animated by actors, light engineers, stage decorators and Directors.
Then, I took a new decision at the exorbitant price of leaving behind the heavy but luxurious confort of the red velvet and the suspended domes :
I chose in its place, to be the author-composer-interpretor-technician of each of my own creations. To really grasp the reins. I might as well do it. As I like doing it. And what I want to do is : PAINT.
Here begins the immobile voyage : we are in 1993
