Sparkle

Born in 1999 in Villeurbanne, Sparkle is a self-taught artist. After a difficult schooling, she left school very early, being diagnosed with autism. She quickly became passionate about Graffiti, Street art, Pop art and Abstract Art.

Very sensitive to colors and particularly very bright shades, Sparkle began painting on leaves, on canvas and then on urban supports from a very young age.

Seeking inspiration around her, in the streets, in nature, and in the universe, Sparkle maintains a special bond with animals and particularly butterflies. She adopts this species which she personifies and which she attempts to work and represent in multiple aspects and numerous styles. This work will result in a whole series of paintings.

Sparkle has always been attracted to colors, spots and splashes, she heard about Jackson Pollock and discovered his work. She quickly admired his creations and was inspired by them, particularly through dripping, this technique which consists of projecting tasks onto different supports.

Largely inspired by the work of street artists from the 90s to today, Sparkle designs her canvases or wall creations using a juxtaposition of layers, embellished with acrylic paint, aerosol paint, Posca and other pictorial techniques. The gesture executed with vivacity, in resonance with the recurrence of graffiti, gives all its plasticity to the work. Punchy and powerfully colored, his paintings are full of dynamism, induced in particular by a strong inspiration from the urban world.

Resorting to the use of universal symbols associated with images taken from pop and underground culture, Sparkle gives us the keys to enter his universe, as corrosive as it is poetic. This young talent, admirer of the big names in Street Art such as Banksy, Above or C215, will soon leave her mark, as far as her curiosity takes her.

“I try to convey in my works what I feel, by spontaneously mixing lines, geometric shapes, lettering, drips and splashes. I paint standing, sitting on the floor, on canvas, on walls, on clothes, whatever the support, I just try to transmit what I have in me. »
