Thalie Dubois Maincent

Thalie was born in 1982 in Lille, France. Always impassioned by drawing in her childhood, she began her first oil painting on canvas at the age of 7. In her teen, she became fascinated by photography and the possibilities offered by computer art and digital imagery. After being graduated in a business school in Nice, she decided to follow her passion of art and went to Saint Barthelemy for 4 years to work as a photograph. She started to merge images enhanced by computer artwork and often combined with a variety of painting techniques. She associates her photo-compositions with acrylic paint, sticking, even crystals of Swarovski, or feathers on aluminum sheets and she recovers the whole of a brilliant lacquer. The aluminum gives to her work an amazing metallic aspect. The colors of her paintings change according to weather, and from the place where we contemplate them. Thalie's work can be described as colorful, dynamic, and fantasy. Her main sources of inspiration are travels, design,
