SORAYA TOUAT
In 2015, Soraya Touat presented her work at the Biennale of Venice.
Her language is a mouvement of light in transparence.
Her first images invited her in the sensual delight, this lighting silence, in the opening to oneself and to the others.
Communicate what what we are and to be confident that everything is there.
We are not obliged to fight to be oneself.
“The reflect of the elements is her source of inspiration”
The memories of a Parisian mother, a society woman, and of a Berber father, shepherd and politician. Contradictions or coherences which make of Soraya a wild and sophisticated woman, a universal presence who navigates from an identity to an other one.
“I quickly understood that the creativity was for me the only way to find the essential”
“In love with the bright light, I look for it, she attracts me”
I paint her work on the wold. thoses forms confronted with the light, makes me belive in the mystery. They speak to us about the essential, subtle and sensual. I play to reproduce this universal again and again.
“I paint on waking…I make my frames myself. It helps to embody me “with my support”
I rock my gesture between two poles, the one clearly disembodied, slow,,, the other rapids, carnal in materiel, in volume. I like contradicting myself while keeping the same theme. Which is the movement of light on the world.”
