EROFUSION
|
Artist Statement
I pursued my love of drawing through the study of nature and life drawing. Lately I have experimented other techniques opening my mind to other frontiers…from there my association with Micheline Hadjis. I hope you will like “Erofusion”.
Biography
I always love to draw from an early age. Later in life I discovered this precious medium called “Watercolor” through the guidance and expertise of a master watercolorist M. Helmut Gerth who taught me with patience the intricacies of this very demanding medium. I perfected my drawing under the guidance of
M. Athos Samueli sketching in “Plein air” in the summer and drawing life models in the winter. Last but not least I studied with M. Jacques Hebert, a master in the art of watercolor. His passion, great advices and generosity were the foundation for my love and perseverance of my art.I have been teaching watercolors for 10 years now. I have coordinated workshops with life models for local associations and famous painters.
Resumè
The concept of reuniting two artist’s work in this new venture called “Erofusion” is born from an admiration for each other’s work, similarity in strong and vibrant colors. The idea to combine artistic values and expertise in each other’s field was natural and lead to a frenzy to achieve new heights in composition.
Louise Santini has been drawing life models in pastel for years. The use of vibrant colors to outline or define shadows and light in her compositions is most unusual. She succeeded in creating stunning, sensual images. When integrated with Micheline Hadjis’s colorful abstracts they take another dimension… out of the traditional way into an undeniable modern approach that vibrates and catches the viewer’s eyes.
“Erofusion” has become possible through this amazing tool called “Photoshop”. Hadjis manipulate images of Santini’s nudes and integrate her abstracts in the background. These stunning images are reproduced on canvas and papers of the highest quality for your visual pleasure. Creations unique and fascinating for you to enjoy.
