Recently I came across an incredible illustrator from France, her name is Veronique Meignaud. She normally works freelance for the gaming industry as a character and environment designer.
According to an interview in a journal: “Marmote has a systematically random approach to the creation of her vibrantly individual art.”For personal illustrations I don’t have any precise thinking of what I am to create before I start. The process if automatic- I paint abstract shapes and choose some saturated colours. I also look for harmony, a balance with empty and full spaces. The final atmosphere depends on the general mood of the day.”” (ImagineFX August 2009).
I personally am an admirer of fantasy art as every image holds a story, and what I love about it is that it leaves me wondering about the subject depicted.
I would definitely recommend visiting www.v-meignaud.com as the variety and quality of images is certainly impressive. The artist possesses an unusual approach to composition, style and colouring technique. On the website, a substantial number of images is present, with several distinct style directions, each beautiful in its own individual way.
Veronique Meiginaud ‘s images are normally subtly erotic, with almost ever present notion of female form integrated in her work. Though at the same moment, I would like to point out, that majority of her subjects are faintly deformed.
The artist has obviously experimented with colouring techniques, as she skilfully combines colours from all around the spectrum to great compositional and emotional benefit.
What I find especially captivating, is the difference in style that she is able to communicate within her work. One image could be full of fascinating details and simultaneously expressing a variety of emotions (The Village 2008), but another could be purely composed of the subject planted in the centre of the composition, with a limited variation in tonal variation, but newer the less provoking questions.
