Michele Magnien (Mileg), Children of Gaia, 2017

Acrylic on canvas, sands of the world, gemstones and minerals. Gaïa, mother earth, gives birth to one of her children. Here the baobab, essential theme of my painting, symbol of earth / sky link, material / spiritual… Life is always present despite the suffering imposed on Gaïa permanently in our time of disrespect for her. The character, feminine in essence, draws its strength from the earth and the sky. Her hair comes out of the ground, from the sands, the sky floods with its tranquil force that connects. Materially the sands of the world embody this philosophy: on the same canvas, different countries, often politically opposed, far from each other geographically can symbolically unite to create unity on the canvas. This era lives in the virtual, speed, confusion sets in, speed present everywhere submerges us in its destructive flow. Let us be aware of the slowness. The growth of thousand-year-old trees protects and reassures us. For Gaia, giving birth perpetuates humanity in rediscovered love Michèle Magnien, Mileg, was born in 1952. After a career in the hospital environment, she embarked on an artistic career. Since then, she has been regularly selected in the largest painting salons in France and abroad: the salon of French artists in Paris, the national society of fine arts in Paris ... Mileg experiments with materials, especially sands, the texture of which fascinates her. Mileg mainly uses acrylic on canvas, and inserts sands, mineral materials such as volcanic lapilli, stones, slates ... Original creations that make you dream.
