Immersion

Immersion

His work is not limited to representing the animal. He is looking to recreate an experience, a moment of silent tension, of intimacy between two forms of consciousness. What he is interested in is not the perfect image, but theReal moment, lived, which precedes the work. The animal is therefore not a “remote” subject but a co-present, a being with whom it is a question of dealing — in every sense of the word. A painting situated, embodied, committed. Far from a studio closed in on itself, Lise's painting is born from outside: in the forest, on the steppe, in the snow, on the banks of a river, with healers or naturalists. This Field practice, this sinking physics, echoes contemporary approaches such as that of artist-walkers, artist-researchers or those who work in ecological residency.
It is thus part of an aesthetic of slowness, of displacement, of the construction of the encounter — against the current of the digital flow of animal images that are often detached from any lived reality.

Painting the emotion of a look,
reveal the magic of an encounter.

The universe

Lise Vurpillot is a contemporary painter who captures the magic of a look, of a moment suspended between the human and the animal.
His portraits are born in the field, waiting patiently for a real encounter. Then, in the studio, she recreates the profound emotion through sensitive painting, between anatomical accuracy and bursts of color.
Her art, both committed and poetic, explores the living not as a subject, but as a whole.
Each canvas becomes a silent dialogue, a celebration of the connection between species.
