"After working for several years on watercolors in which figurative representation of imaginary places prevailed, I needed to feel the materials.

For six years, I have been using a  bituminous tar. I like its dark and warm hues. It is not so handy because of its viscosity, so I had to experiment a lot to "tame" it.

I quickly added natural red earth, and later on some acrylic paint. Today, I add solvents that make tar look like rusted sheet metal.

My style, now closer to abstraction, still includes recognisable elements, from which the audience can dream a way according to its own personality."

Written in 2006 by Fabienne Quinsac for an exhibition catalogue.
