CREATIVE FROM A YOUNG AGE
Since young, Arlette has been initiated to creativity. All she had to do was watch her mother present a dish at the table decorated like a work of art, or diverting an old object from its primary function to orient it towards a new destiny. She was eight or ten years old when she was fascinated by the way she had scavenged the crown of an old raffia hat and transformed it, with the flick of her magic fingers, into a beautiful handbag. With a simple movement, drape a fabric, and here is a loose and majestic evening outfit ...
This natural talent for haute couture put her on the rails of the Institute "La Femme TodayÉ" (Cairo, 1962). These simple, quite innocuous facts marked and stimulated her imagination. a family environment conducive to the flourishing of letters and the arts.
ARTISTIC APPROACH LEONARDO DE VINCI - DRAWING AND PAINTING
Arlette's artistic approach began in high school. Indeed, the drawings in the margins of his notebooks earned him the reproaches of his teachers, but testified to his passion for drawing. Upon completion of her baccalaureate, she enrolled at the Leonardo da Vinci Institute of Fine Arts (Cairo, Egypt) where she graduated after four years of study. Pencil, charcoal, watercolor, oil paint. You had to master the line, the pencil stroke: in one stroke, identify the essential, respect the proportions, evaluate the volumes, faithfully render the shadows, lights, penumbra, fades, the harmony of colors.

She aimed for the fullness of lines and shapes, shadows and lights.
HUMAN AND SOCIAL FERMENT
The passage from one continent to another, from one culture to another, to others, but also a personal evolution, from youth to maturity, from shy and discreet beginnings to the possibility of fully assuming as a woman, professional mother and artist, and above all a tireless curiosity and inexhaustible energy have marked this long journey. A child is born after nine months, it took her thirty years to give birth to her art, but it is precisely this journey that has brought her to the full possession of her means, hence the symbolic power that she entrusts to each of her works and this feeling of plenitude that she seeks.

His work, both of classical and figurative inspiration, is symbolist in nature. The work tends towards a resolutely modern and contemporary interpretation. It is the result of a slow and long maturation which will have lasted about thirty years. Emigration, studies, marriage, maternity, professional career, joys and sufferings of life have kneaded in one crucible a latent talent which had already manifested itself during my studies in art and which only needed to be expressed. Bellydance lessons (Montreal) have added a sense of elegance and grace to my training.

A follower of multidisciplinarity, Arlette considers that the common denominator of his work as an artist can be summed up in lines, shapes, volumes, shadows and lights, colors and transparency. The rest is about the medium to best express the creative expression. All in all, she has always refused to confine her art to a single form of expression (Consult - Art in complete freedom, published in the review La Réussit, Vol 6 no2, April 2004).

Classical influence and the appeal of the modern combine to be expressed in a variety of ways. Some works seem more classic, while others, although figurative, are modern in their treatment: symbolic of the fragment and recourse to stylization. These two processes allow my message to be inscribed on a universal scale, to go from the current to the inactual, to speak of men and women, in short of human character in general, beyond time and of space, continents and nationalities.

Eager for discovery and passionate about traveling, Arlette lets herself be carried away by enthusiasm and wonder. She tracks nature in all its forms. She sees the potential for creative expression in the most delicate of symmetries at the heart of a tiny flower, in the intricate spiral of a seashell, in the blaze of a setting sun: plant, animal or mineral kingdom. Everything is inspirational. The flight of the seasons nourishes his reflection and directs him towards abstraction.

From the tangible to the ephemeral, from the visible to the invisible, she seeks the message that the beauty of the world conveys; which gives meaning to his work. Daring perfection, aiming for fullness and with full awareness of the ephemeral nature of the piece created, believing that it can convey the emotion felt and mysteriously transmit it to others because beauty is contagious. His language is universal, knows no barriers or limits, transcends time and space. Its trajectory is infallible, it targets the very heart of our humanity.
