What is the effect you want your art to have on the viewer ? I like it when I am able to recreate an image that has provoked in me a particular emotion : It can be the awe of coming in contact with jellyfish whilst swimming in the baltic and finding them totally harmless and airily beautiful.

Working at Artprintresidence on a mokulito plate (maple gorgeousness !) WIP 🚧

Saturday in Cadaques🤩

Looks like a perfectly good future to me 🤷

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

Throwback to a poetry reading with Segolene Fair at the harp. ✨✨✨

What I am reading today: LIGHT by eva Figes ( 1983-reprinted 2024 by Pallasathene) A memoir about light, following the footsteps of Monet around his Giverny garden. A testimony about how art can beat back the shadows, albeit the worst shadows of the FIRST WORLD WAR.

Introducing myself !👋🏻 Hello I am Diane @lasinguliere.bsky.social . I am a binational artist and writer, based in London and in Sète (Occitanie). I work on paper, printmaking and mixed media. I am working on a book based on the life of my grandmother #florenceconti, a prolific artist and sculptor.

When you go out to hit the shops for a wedding… but end up feeding your addiction @johnsandoe bookstore! Where else can you buy total happiness for 15 bucks (legallyI mean…)?!!!

Back to carving today! Why is the studio such a treat?! My forever happy place! #aroomofownsown #virginiawoolf #womanartist Putting the final touches to a cedar woodcut I will soon edition 👌🏻

If you were the richest man/woman in the world, would you a/ use your wealth to make a positive mark in the world and help it become a better place for all? Or b/ use your wealth to disrupt, destroy and create more chaos and conflict?! I know, it’s a tough one 😝🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

In a nutshell : substack.com/@blue1959/no...

My #octopusgyotaku has found its definitive home in Sète, with a view over the Mediterranean! It was born around here 3 years ago almost, in the port of Agde. I like when my work is connected to the place it is shown in. #gyotaku #natureprinting #marinewilldlife

Garden finds! Art by #florenceconti my maternal grandmother mother who was a trailblazer and a huge artist. I regret nature retaining this earth to its original purpose but at the same time there is such beauty in the moss covered statues… #returningtoearth #nature #artifact #rewilding

International women day🤗 here the women who inspire me : Heloise the wise (more than Abélard), Jane Fonda, Nikki de Saint Phalle, Olympe de Gouge, Gisele Halimi, Lee Miller, Gina Miller, Marjane Satrapi, both my grandmothers, the unknown mother - Aka the first woman to ever give birth! #queens

Monoprinting produces original unique works that have a very « hand drawn » quality that I relish. In this series I was inspired by poses of women in some of Picasso earlier works. #artbywomen

My mood today🤗 I need sunshine and a Mediterranean garden around me - it’s been grey and wet all week! #femaleform #linocut Still very inspired, looking through work I did last summer in Cataluña @artprintresidence.bsky.social 🌱🌴🌵🌱🌴

Work in progress;) I m using #cyanotypes as base for encaustic painting and collage. Trial and error! But trusting the process to get me where I need to be 😝😇

Showing monoprints created after a joyful residency @artprintresidence.bsky.social during which I used some of my grandmother sculptures to inspire works on paper celebrating the female body through introverted and thoughtful poses. I am currently writing a biography of my parent #florenceconti.

Be the light you want to see in this world 🌍 Maybe today’s mantra?! 🕉️🫶 Post yoga thoughts !!!

🍀Hoping my friends and colleagues will join me here so we can celebrate a social media space away from the big platforms that operate without care or principles 🤗

Our next OpenSunday Art Market is happening this Sunday at 11 Empress Place, Sw6 1TT near Earls Court development ! Everyone welcome🤗 First Sunday of each month from 11 to 5. Lots of artwork for sale.

Hi there! I m a newbie here and I will introduce myself : I am a Franco-British artist based in London and soon in Sète (Occitanie). I am a writer and visual artist and I am concerned with how our wellbeing is affected by art and nature and how to use both in order to make a difference in the world.
