JACQUEL

Jacqueline Perez Saleh is a French-Spanish painter born in 1960 and moved to Senegal and has shared her life between Africa and Europe. In 2000 she took art classes, and discovered her passion.

She exhibits regularly in Dakar in private locations such as the IFAN museum and in Madrid and Berlin in GALERIA AZUR. She is also an artist and member of the association Chemins d'art in le Gard, France, which promotes artists and crafts.

An artist of gesture, she quickly frees herself from the figurative constraint of the markers and sentinels of the Rule and paints with complete freedom. As a felt artist, she explores in herself and around her, carries a contemplative look on the world. First gesture on the canvas, first color, then another gesture, and another... And slowly the forms are revealed, the colors are embraced, the gesture is more reflected, the creative process more intense as the work is revealed and offered to the experimentation work of the artist. Through its colorful palettes, textures and gradients, Jacquel combines materials and techniques to give strength and life to colors and shapes, to accenuate them; she digs, blends, veils here, unveils there and proposes a painting of the felt that addresses to the senses and the imagination.
