“Cuando pinto trato de reflejar mi percepción de la realidad, cuando fotografío trato de capturar las distorsiones de la naturaleza”

Conocida por sus pinturas en el mundo de las artes plásticas, esta vez ella elige la fotografía para expresarse en el arte abstracto y efímero. Años de estudio de la luz y los colores fueron creando un ojo entrenado para detectar formas interesantes que se dan en la naturaleza. Esta vez ella reemplaza los pinceles por la cámara y la característica reflectiva de la luz para mezclar y combinar colores existentes en la naturaleza. Parafraseando a la artista en este punto:

“Reflexiones, refracciones y difracciones de la luz en la naturaleza crean increíbles imágenes, las cuales cambian tan rápido que es casi imposible retenerlas en nuestra retina. Solo un fotograma puede registrar esas variaciones. Mi fotografía hace uso de esas características al combinarlas con los tres elementos: Tierra, Aire y Agua. Turbulencias en el agua y ráfagas sobre su superficie crean el lienzo perfecto donde puedo capturar esos momentos infinitesimales que existen en la naturaleza, pero que nuestro cerebro tiende a filtrar dejándonos ver solamente aquello que entendemos y que nos es fácil decodificar. Mis fotografías son toma directa y no están trucadas ni procesadas, solamente muestran la realidad de ese instante irrepetible que para el ojo no entrenado pareciera ser una “Realidad Distorsionada”.

Nacida en Buenos Aires su infancia transcurre en un constante ir y venir entre Bretaña, la campiña francesa y las Pampas Argentinas. Fue la naturaleza su hilo conductor, su lugar común y su amor por ella se reflejan claramente en su obra. Pronto se adaptó a esta constante triangulación, que adoptó como propia, manifestándose en su obra como una “trilogía perpetua”. Esta característica se pone de manifiesto en la diversidad de su obra que oscila entre Oleo, Acrílico y Acuarela, entre Pincel, Espátula y Dedos y entre Paisajes, Animales y Plantas. Su pintura comparte un lugar común expresado a través de la armonía de sus elementos y su ubicación en el plano a fin de generar una apertura de espacios, la incidencia de la luz, la sensación de tranquilidad y libertad que transmiten sus temas y una sutil y balanceada paleta de colores. Como fotógrafa, dicha trilogía se pone de manifiesto haciendo uso de las tres características ópticas de la luz.

Known for her oil and watercolor paintings and her controversial self portrait, this time she chooses to use photography to express abstract and ephemeral art. Years of light and color combination study had trained her eye to discover interesting forms in nature. This time she replaces the brush for a camera and the light reflections to blend the surrounding colors, quoting her about this;

“Reflections, refractions and diffractions of light in nature create amazing sights

that change so quick that is almost impossible to fix them on our retina. Only a photogram can register those variations. I take advantage of this characteristic when combining three elements: Earth, Water and Air. Turbulence in running water and wind gust over the surface create the perfect canvas where I can capture those infinitesimal moments in reflecting elements that exist in nature but our brains tend to filter letting us see only the part of them that we can decode. My photographs are direct shoot and not processed in any way. They only show the reality of that unrepeatable instant that for the untrained eye looks like…. Distorted Reality”

Elisabet d'Epenoux was born in Buenos Aires. She spent her childhood back and forth between the French Campaign, the coast of Bretagne, and the countryside in the Argentine Pampas where she developed her love for nature reflected in her work. Soon she learned to adapt herself to this constant triangulation manifested in her work as a "perpetual trilogy." This characteristic is shown in the diversity of her work as she moves from oil to acrylic to watercolors, from brushes to spatulas to fingers, from landscape to botanical to animals. There are three locations where she is inspired to paint as she switches back and forth between her three ateliers located in Buenos Aires, on the family ranch in the Argentine Pampas, and by the sea on the Florida east coast. As a photographer the trilogy nature of her work becomes evident when she uses light reflections, refractions and diffractions to shoot a combination of three basic elements: earth, air and water.

“When painting I try to express my perception of reality, when shooting I try to capture the distortions in nature”
