Noémie de Yturbe

“Impose your luck, hold your happiness and go towards your risk. Looking at you, they will get used to it.” is René Char’s phrase which had an impact on the work and transformation of the artist Noémie de Yturbe. She stops figurative with Indian ink and watercolor to go abstract with posca markers, acrylic paint and material: upholstery nails.

Hammering nails, feeling their roundness and softness is a tactile experience valuable to the artist. Whether shiny, matte, gold, bronze or silver, nails open up new creative perspectives. They emphasize with energy and dynamism the “puzzlescope” shapes in bright colors, painted or glued so dear to the artist. The chosen color palette is colorful, lively and energetic, reflecting the liveliness of emotions and the power of artistic expression, such as Matisse, Kusama, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and Niki de Saint Phalle.

Finally, in each work she hides a ladybug, her signature, symbol of the “good God beast”, which embodies benevolence, gentleness, poetry and joy.

An instinctive artist, whose optimism is reflected in his free and spontaneous art, life is similar to a puzzle in which encounters, situations, projects fit together harmoniously and move it forward.
