Ardissone Yolande

«Freshness, slight breezes dispersing the colors, a gentle love for nature, that is Ardissone. She is mostly known for her playful and sophisticated paintings executed with thick use of paint and sporadic, yet controlled brushwork. Painting to Ardissone means invoking the thing, provoking it in order to test its inner vitality. Ardissone’s painting is an art of movement, the artist engages in a lively dialogue with the world and translates the vibrant emotion of the encounter into the sinewy stroke of the brush»
