MAGNÉSIE (Magnesia) – 20 x 20 cm
At the crossroads of movement and silence, "Magnesia" captures the contained tension of a figure at rest, poised to cross a threshold.
With pen and black chalk, the drawing sculpts light across skin, fabric, and objects — creating an atmosphere both dense and suspended, where every detail seems to whisper a story of inner momentum.

"Magnésie" : l’épopée de l'alpinisme au féminin à travers plume et pierre noire
Lorsque j'ai décidé de créer "Magnésie", je cherchais à explorer l'essence de l'alpinisme au féminin, un thème qui m'a toujours fasciné pour sa représentation de force, d'endurance et de détermination. L'utilisation de la plume et de la pierre noire m'a offert une opportunité unique de capturer ces émotions sur papier, alliant détails fins et contrastes forts.
Mon choix s'est porté sur une montagnarde, figure emblématique de cette passion. Sa tenue équipée, le cordage enroulé à ses côtés, tout dans sa posture évoque une aventure en haute altitude. Elle est assise, recroquevillée, avec son sac à dos posé près d'elle, comme si elle venait de faire une pause après une longue ascension. Cette posture, plutôt vulnérable, contraste avec l'équipement robuste, illustrant ainsi la dualité des montagnards : une combinaison de force brute et d'humanité.
J'ai consacré beaucoup de temps à son visage. Dans le format carré du dessin, sa tête est légèrement inclinée, comme si elle était plongée dans ses pensées ou peut-être en train de contempler le chemin parcouru et celui qui reste à gravir. Cette orientation faciale, centrée dans la composition, attire immédiatement le regard, et c'est là que réside la véritable histoire. Son regard, ses traits, racontent des histoires de vents glacés, de falaises escarpées et de victoires silencieuses sur elle-même.
Le titre "Magnésie", au-delà de son évidence liée à l'escalade, évoque également pour moi la grittiness, l'adhérence nécessaire pour affronter les défis, et la poussière laissée derrière après une ascension réussie.
Dans ce dessin, j'ai cherché à rendre hommage à toutes les femmes qui se lancent dans le monde exigeant de l'alpinisme, à raconter une histoire d'audace, de détermination et de la beauté pure de l'ascension féminine. La plume et la pierre noire ont été mes alliées, me permettant d'illustrer un récit profondément humain sur un carré de papier.
