Domino and Yfig (Dominique and Yves)
We are a professional artist couple leaving in Honfleur (Normandy). After 10 years of peregrinations on various continents (Africa and Middle-East - America - Asia)
Do we reside, since more than twenty years, to Honfleur, is this it that has push us toward the painting? We started this activity in dilettante 25 years ago.
To this time, Dominique drew and I painted colors. Five years ago, Dominique followed a formation of four graphic art years at Honfleur art school, and got to paint her own brushes and spatulas. For what concerns me, I am self-educated, drawing with the pencil or the charcoal all sites where we add spend (of Dakar in Chicago while passing by Singapore - Khartoum - Benghazi -Los Angeles - Libreville - Prettoria - Riyadh - London - Vienna... The list is long!) or again, teesting techniques clarified in works dedicated to the pictorial art, linking glaze on lavises, huskiness, embuses, and other transparencies. We work together or separately, but with a critical look for the other, what encourages us to search for the better in ourselves.
We are not ever quite satisfied, still in quest of best, and every new canvas is hope of an inaccessible perfection. It is also a way of life our couple, to share a passion. We organized the 25 to June 30, 2002 our first exhibition, about forty oils on woods and very variable format canvases, representing our works since 1994. This exhibition was the opportunity to propose to looks of unknowns the result of our work. We have been encouraged by the numerous public and sales of several of our pictures that convinced us to continue to paint for ourselves, for our passion and for the pleasure of spectators.. Since, we participated in other exhibitions and we contributed to the contest of painting organized, on occasion of the Feast of the Shrimp, by " the academy of Artists of Honfleur " of which we are members.
