About the Item

Acrylic on canvas Jaja is a French artist born in 1951 who lives and works in Loches, in the Loire Valley, France. From1976 to 1878, she takes evening classes at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Grenoble where she learnt the art of drawing and the subtleties of color associations. At that time, she realized that sketches and colors would be essential elements in her creations. It first led her to work for home decoration companies, such as Toulemonde-Bochart, a modern rug company for whom she worked from 1991 to 1995 and created a model called “Aztèque” in 1991. At the same time she was working on her own creations and on finding her personal style. Sometimes, she started introducing numerically modified photographs in her paintings in 2003, with “Au musée”. The range of possibilities offered by this technique opened her eyes to new creation opportunities. Since then, she has been creating digital pieces in which she introduces her drawings. In 2003 she also started creating sculptures, as a continuation of her two initial passions, sketches and colors. Jaja works with several medias and materials to create both her sculptures and art pieces. She says that she "draws in three dimensions". She took part in major collective exhibitions such as the Salon de Montrouge (Montrouge Art Fair) in 1999, 2002 and 2003 and CUTLOG 2013 in Paris. Two of her art pieces are permanently shown in public spaces : "Le Fantôme du Jardinier" (The Gardener’s Ghost), a sculpture in metal (partly form imposed) in the Castle of Cangé's Park in Saint-Avertin (France), and Le Rêve "The Dream", painting in a nursing home of Beaufort-en-Anjou (France), CHRU – Tours – F, - L'Envolée & FIAA – (private Museum) Le Mans (72) F – "Toi-Moi" – painting. She also received a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from Panthéon–Sorbonne, Paris I University in 2002.
