Vanessa Dakinsky

Born in 1985. Lives and work in Toulouse (France)
After a degree in fine arts, Vanessa Dakinsky asserts herself in a more self-taught art practice, with references as well from a popular universe, as from a classic tradition of painting.


Her universe oscillates between realism and onirism. The immediate visual shock leaves then place with reverberations, sharpness of details and sometimes hidden animals and visions. These enigmatic architectures reveal us a relationship to the split up reality, but at the same time familiar.
Excentric pictorial constructions, focusing on the intimate perception, extravagance and phantasmagoria seem to point out the deepness of some instants ; reinterpreated signs of our time grow with an hypnotic and vibrant human alchemy.

In 2013, Vanessa Dakinsky's work opens internationnaly, through personal and collective exhibitions. (France, England, Germany, Norway, Canada).
