About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Julie Rovira, alias Pitu, is a contemporary French artist. Born into an artistic family, Pitu's expressive paintings capture the creative essence that has accompanied her since childhood. Her self-taught style draws inspiration from abstract art and neo-expressionism, resulting in a distinctive approach that positions her work within the notable realm of art brut. Employing vibrant colors, dynamic patterns, and expressive characters, Pitu creates a realm where her audacious and inquisitive personality roams freely.

At the inception of each new artwork, Pitu often contemplates the essence of life and the world we inhabit. Through the visual medium of painting, she engages in a profound psychological and intellectual exercise. Pitu's impressive body of work exemplifies her prolific nature, as she intertwines raw brushwork with philosophical musings, garnering an increasing following.

Embracing an experimental approach to her artistic process, Pitu transcends the boundaries of a single medium. Instead, she adeptly blends various materials, including acrylics, oil pastels, spray paint, and Indian ink. Her exploratory approach is guided by intuition and spontaneity.
