Séverine Camus
“Only the limits we set ourselves lock us in. Let us open our minds and hearts to an infinite and not stable field: the world. We will then understand that art must not be limited or static.
I am only the humble translator of a fragment of this infinity in which we live, in movement and constant evolution”. (Séverine Camus)

Séverine Camus gives us three completely original and biting works. Her original and unique style is the result of a complex and tormented relationship with art. Severine from the age of six immersed herself in the world of the arts but interrupted her relationship with them after about ten years. In fact, at the age of seventeen she ceases all forms of art but eventually, her encounter with shamanism will change her life. She will then reconnect with her trait and soul. Therefore, her connection with art is extremely deep and embraces different styles, belonging to the abstract strand of art. Imagine is a work with a well-thoughtout architectural structure and space management, along with a calibrated use of color. In the wake of Mondrian, Séverine gives us the perfection of lines and geometric shapes. Exactly as in Creation, which adds an additional element, an abstract Doodling-style frame. Finally, Songe Bèrbere is pure expressionist abstraction but here too we find a reference to Doodling and an original handling of space. This can be said to be her trademark. As she states inspiration comes from the living in the broadest sense, from her dreams or from the unconscious. Passionate about human beings and their psychic functioning, she addresses the soul of men and tries to blend her works into their environment by enlarging spaces. Severine "seeks out lines, contrasts and comparisons of style because the world is made of permanent relief and change. She constantly explores, making each work an experience that carries its own number".
