RÉSUMÉ/BIO
Danielle was born and raised in Paris. After a successful career in textile design and in Publishing Danielle and her family moved to New York in 2007. Her work has appeared in the New Yorker and Sony hired me to design their Madison Avenue store windows.
Danielle has been passionately painting since her adolescence. Now she devotes her time exclusively to her art.
Danielle's works reference her experience as a textile designer and illustrator, her creative ability is the result of interweaving research in textile work, illustrations, photos. Her work is riddled with irony and cynicism poking at the incoherencies of our society and at the core – family. She develops themes that suggest surprising parallels: love-hate, sex, woman-man, good-evil, rich-poor, peace-war, ambivalence, society's dysfunctions and taboos in colors, differences shapes and contrasts.These elements bang together in her paintings and mixed media sculptures inviting peculiar interpretations. The sensual shapes in her works are abruptly interrupted creating tension and contradiction. References from a multitude of cultures, often in the form of signs and pictograms, contribute to the mise-en-scene, which mystifies the viewer with irony and ambiguity.
Her work is multidimensional, involving many cultural streams of influences. The creative process is layered, first cerebral then composed by colors, and design aesthetics. Danielle's mind creates an intriguing world using various media including acrylic, wood, linocuts, photography and all kinds of surprising objects.The convergence all these materials create an elaborate chaos . At the heart of her art is a desire to tell stories that speak to the individual and collective consciousness of cultural identities. Her creativity never stops expressing herself through new pieces of arts:
- Art and Eyeglasses optical accessory, magnifying reading glasses combining art and vision care
- Art and Necklaces, the development and composition oh her necklaces are done exactly like her paintings, a balance of shapes and colors, Danielle is inspired by life, fashion and the events around us.
