Céline Lachkar
Drawing / Painting / Photography
I am a visual artist. I use different techniques that I often weave together on the same surface. I work on small or large formats, permanently or temporarily. I like constellatory compositions, and I see all of my work as an echo chamber, a multifaceted tale, or even a garden where beauty, attention, gentleness, and finesse can heal.
What interests me is creating spaces that resonate with what is both deepest and highest within us, using analogical, symbolic motifs linked to states of interiority, meditation, and creation, but also beauty and natural, vital power.
I am also inspired by the symbols and geometries which often feature in my compositions in filigree. They come from ancient or traditional cultures, linked to the principle of life and that I associate with certain acoustic and biological figures.
I see these spaces of resonance as spaces of care, with the intention that they dissolve what is rigid, that they act as talismans, beacons, harmonizers in a modern world that is hyper-mineralized, brittle, fragmented, and dissonant.
It is a process of re-enchantment, but also archaeological and alchemical, which digs deep, awakens the dormant, and gives access to the invisible. An initiatory path of tales and myths that allows one to break free from a spell and opens a door to another dimension, infinite and restorative.
