Peggy Viallat
artist / painter
I am a french painter, born in 1973 in St. Etienne, a small grey mining town, with a strong worker community.
Enrollment in the Beaux Arts, graduated in painting restauration.
Meeting in 1996 with Nathanael, my husband, life on the road, free and fusional.

I’m unable to answer it, I haven’t more speech. I want to say something more which is adapted. I began to paint again this year, with rage, to interest myself, to question, to pay attention. I see only that suffering has a common base with humanity. My pallet is saturated with red shadow and ivory and green for corpses. I do not differentiate man from animal. This time, I am at war.
I will need many years to understand another range of feelings, the blood is always present in what I do, but more as instinct of lives, primitive.
My childhood taught me the hidden things, the innocence. What links us, is that my question now? If I could simply touch people, if my painting could become an accompanying song, a breath, a presence …
