"Fearing to be locked up in an 'artistic current' and aspiring on the contrary to reach, by my work,a universal dimension, it is perhaps because of its character atemporel, which transcends the centuries andthe schools, that I chose to take as a starting point the mythology...Don't the men of today reflect, indeed, which those of yesterdayexorcisaient through their legends,trying to thus alleviate their anguishes and their distresses, the complexity of this life notdepending, essentially, neither of the latitude nor of the time?"- Isabelle Bulczynski

The beautiful fabrics of Isabelle Bulczynski in common have an interrogation on the mysteries of the love, the desire, the bond between the body and the heart. Because, I believe, which interests it, it is psyché, which it calls "psychology",. the dumb language that, following the example painting, the myths speak, substitute gaps for the human languages. What strikes, with the first glance related to this unit, it is initially the party taken to erase the faces. This goes against centuries of practice of mythological painting, where one represented such prince, such large as an Apollo or Mars, such royal mistress as a Diane, such smart ladies in Psyché. I B erases the private individual or the individual one to reach the universal one. She reaches that point. If a doric column or one draped evokes here or there Greece of convention, in general the bodies are naked, do not belong to no time, no place. Without face, these bodies can take all the faces.
"Véronique GEly- Ghedira, Lecturer at the University of Clermont-Ferrand ... ****************************** "Poetry does not result from an inspiration but from an expiry. The poet is only the labour of forces which live it, foreign with the conscience and the reason. All the remainder is literature, . intelligence and control, as many obstacles to the birth of works which must produce the beauty instead of reproducing it." Extract of the Requiem of Jean Cocteau ... ******************************************************************************************* "Nature is a temple where alive pillars sometimes let leave confused words; the man passes there through forests of symbols which observe it with familiar glances ", Baudelaire," Correspondences ... ****************************************************************************************************** Mythology presents to us the whole of the myths and the specific legends to each civilization. It puts in scene, by a fabulous account, beings incarnant in a form symbolic system the forces of nature and various aspects of the human condition. But isn't it also the base of psychology? Indeed how not to note that the whims of these gods are only human realities, always as present now as in the past...
The men of today still reflect what those of yesterday exorcisaient through their legends, trying to thus alleviate their anguishes, their distresses and the complexity of this life which, essentially, depends neither on the latitude and nor of the time. This is why it seems to to me damage to be unaware of the past under pretext which it conveys of the obsolete ideas: could the tree push without roots? I thus invite you to fly over with me these some legends drawn from the history of the gods and the Greek and Roman heroes, who allowed me to work out this work. The texts corresponding to the tables were written starting from the works quoted in the bibliography, in particular "the large book of the Greek and Roman mythology" of Michal Stapleton and "the Golden Legend of the gods and the heroes" of Mario Meunier. I hope to have half-opened a door on this world forsaken, however so rich and so marvellous, with those which do not know it, and allowed the others to go back in memory some forgotten legends...
