"The art always wins, anything can happen to me, but the art will stay." These words were uttered by the contemporary Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, now world-wide known for his controversial and political works art (I personally fell in love with "Sunflower Seeds", which is at London TATE Gallery).
When I first saw Agnes-Cecile's works the first thing I felt was a sparkling freshness and an unbelievable feeling of freedom, but I couldn't help noticing that behind those beautiful expressions and those vivid gazes there was a hint of something upsetting.
In Agnes-Cecile's paintings the idea of beauty has been somehow wiped out or even better replaced with a sort of lenient and outwardly harmless way of promoting a new art which involves all human senses.
Towards Agnes' pieces of art we may therefore talk about a huge synesthetic, state-of-the-art and visionary way of expressing the idea of beauty, mixed with olfactory and tactile sensations, which is actually quite amazing.
Agnes never portraits real subjects (or not totally), she starts from an idea, a picture she saw somewhere swiftly, a visage that struck her in a way and then she develops every further detail just following her imagination, her feelings and her unique inner eye.
When I first met Agnes, I was pleasantly bewildered to see that she came over as a simple person, showing a warm almost-naïvete which lead the observer to her world. Her paintings flow like a stream of consciousness from her soul and they are complementary to her wonderful personality. Congrats!!
PS: Tralasciando e scavalcando, possibilmente inciampandoci, il mio inglese, questo è un piccolo ringraziamento per l'ospitalità e l'accoglienza che ci hai fatto alla tua mostra. Speriamo che la prossima occasione di rivederci capiti prima possibile! Un abbraccio, a presto
those eyes . . i cant help from being deeply saddened by the vapid emotion coming from them . though the detail in them isnt the most elaborate the message in them is haunting . i see a fight in this piece , a fight that has almost been lost ? in most if not all artworks a rainbow colour palette can immediately evoke joy and peace , but here i feel this is not the case . i see no peace here , i see turmoil . the rainbow has been smothered by darkness , the black is almost surrounding the face which lends to my theory that the fight is lost . the red in the eyes suggest this face has been crying for a long time and the drips of course they mimic tears all too beautifully .
the artist note : "never talk about it" what is 'it' ? . .
your work is beautiful. I truly think you have an exquisite talent for depicting the human form, especially the beauty of the female form as well as a focus on the eyes and face. Your work makes me very happy, its beautiful! <3
It's very dramatic, but I feel colors weren't used randomly. The blackish cloud is trying to hide itself behind the face, as implies some uncomfortable memories, as also the title suggests. Meanwhile the colorful front could represent all the nice things we are not hesitating to show to others, the superficial image of a person. This is just what comes to my mind when I see it.

What an inspiring piece of art. I like that it makes you think about meaning of the motif full of contrasts, sad eyes, tears, broken pieces and surrouning darkness.
