Mireille Blanc

 Mireille Blanc (1985) focuses on the enigmatic aspect of subjects she encounters. From personal or collected photos, chosen with a high degree of intuition, she emphasizes on the image making process as she works on pictures tending between abstraction and memory landmarks. The artist seeks to lose the initial subject in patterns she paints by accentuating on details and by transforming scale ratio. For instance, by enlarging small elements, she pursues to lose the viewer in the image and blur its context. The artistic process, emphasizing on the vagueness of the topic treated, creates a filter between the artwork and the one who is contemplating it and allows to discover a new reality in the loss of the original subject.
