Evelyne Ballestra
Praslin

1980

About the Item

Praslin is a colorful painting made by Evelyne Ballestra, a French contemporary artist, while she was in Seychelles for art residency. The artist uses bright colors in this expressionist painting to show how she feels the energy in this island, highlighting the rocks in the green jungle with its palm trees. Ballestra expresses a unique movement in each painting with a very subtle sensuality and a juxtaposition of colors to reveal light and shadows, creating a synergy between the piece and the viewer. She incorporates colorful narratives and cultural innuendos that are inspired from her travels around the world, especially Egypt, Latin America and the Seychelles. She attempts to link the human beings and the universe through her pictorial expression which is connected to the mineral, vegetal and animal kingdom. Since 1974, Ballestra has exhibited in over 25 major group and solo exhibitions throughout Europe, Asia and the United States. Dimensions: H. 32 in. x W. 40 in. The artist can be commissioned for any specific pieces as well as paintings to match her existing artworks and create diptychs, triptychs...
