Charlotte Baston was very early for classic music and dance, a teaching of 10 years following which she practiced these two disciplines for a long time, deviating from the classic for a contemporary style. It was not until 2015 that she started painting, in a self -taught way. Charlotte Baston has been declared a professional painter since 2019, she is today an artist in full emergence. "I have always needed artistic expression throughout my journey, but beyond the artistic course, it was above all a human journey, with all that it can include. I was a dancer and a dancer and Musician that taught me a lot, but it was only with painting, alone and without training, that I felt to be able to finally express what defines me deeply. "At the heart of the work is the body, which presents itself as a true temple of our humanity. The bodies speak, tell us, through their poses and their treatments, Charlotte Baston makes us see men and women in his very particular way. We are far from classical poses, but also of a decided discourse, the artist prefers to speak of whole bodies, in what they are, without any doubt but with a certain restraint, thus creating a form of tension proper to His work. "I am not too explicit in my paintings, I do not advocate, do not assert, I like uncertain, in the sense that there are no certainties, I prefer to reflect , delicacy, sensitivity, I find it a lot of strength and beauty. " In this the work of Charlotte Baston is neither black nor white, neither dark nor bright, she likes to say that she is inspired by what is as it is. Indeed, the artist does not affect values judgments and categories, for her far too simplistic and reducing. It is precisely in the encounter between the differences, the inconsistencies and the opposites sometimes sometimes, that its inspiration takes. "I am I believe a great lover of life, with all that it has, its materials and textures, an intermingling that has always fascinated me, and I think that my painting says it much better than me ..." Finally the Painting by Charlotte Baston is an invitation to reflection rather than opinion, a process of spirit and perception, definitively at the heart of her work.
