Romane de Watteville
B. 1993, Lausanne - Lives in Lausanne, Switzerland
The historical genre of the portrait lies at the heart of Romane de Watteville's research. Her work is explored through figurative painting, preliminary sketches with photographic collages, as well as through drawings, set designs, murals and close-up depictions balancing sensuality and visual puns. Her fragmented points of view and trompe-l'œil compositions deliver something on the threshold of the real and the imaginary.
