In pastel or Indian ink, ink pen or acrylic, Lorette Cochais works her portraits with astonishing precision. His works of varying sizes are admirably highlighted in frames which give them an undeniable artistic dimension. We feel in this young artist a benevolent gaze on Humanity. His faces “from here or elsewhere”: from India or the Pacific, from the East or from America are disturbing in truth and will misunderstand the viewer who will wonder for a moment if he is not looking at a photo.

“Having grown up with pencil in hand, drawing has always been a faithful friend when inspiration strikes me. Self-taught, I like to discover and try new techniques by following my feelings and my desires. The looks have always been for me. a source of fascination: admiring the impactful portraits and faces, I had the pleasure of trying my hand at pastel on portraits of anonymous Indians, but also self-portraits and pure creation. This selection of drawings will make you, I hope, travel and feel the emotions that accompanied me during their creation. ” Lorette Cochais.
