Artist Spotlight - Aurélie Ferrara
Biography
As the photographer captures a precise moment, through her drawings, Aurélie Ferrara transcribes moments of life, interiority. Black and white, the artist only works with graphite pencil. The variations between clay and carbon allow her an infinite diversity of tones. She superimposes successive layers of lines, which she accentuates or attenuates.

From drawing to drawing, from pencil stroke to pencil stroke, she refines her technique, improves her line to get as close as possible to an expression, an idea ... As aesthetic as it is communicative, each model is the reflection of her own sensitivity.
Drawing is often likened to a line, to an outline. However, all her work aims on the contrary to give depth, volume, contrast, to bring out the expression of a face, and the emotion attached to it.
