BLISS

VÉRONIQUE TERRIEUX

Bliss, as I understand it, is to feel in a fully conscious way, happiness and inner calm. It’s to allow yourself to be receptive to the present moment and to be carried by a subtle, beneficial energy. I experience that during meditation but also in situations where human relations are sincere, intense and deep, such as when I engage in certain art-therapy workshops with people at the dusk of their lives or when I experience the reciprocation of genuine love. Bliss relates to light, which is born with, and from, darkness—the heart of life. That’s why I find black ink so well suited to the visual expression of bliss.

VÉRONIQUE TERRIEUX

Paris-based artist and poet Véronique Terrieux grew up in Le Grézal in the countryside of Southwest France, the natural beauty of which made a deep impression on her. After years of working in oil painting, Terrieux made the transition to ink on paper, often enhanced with colored pencil. For the artist, this medium has proven better suited to capturing her pictorial universe, in which reign silent, distilled landscapes evocative of the world in its original state and which provide the viewer with a contemplative escape. Terrieux has participated in numerous exhibitions and salons, including the yearly Salon International de L’Estampe et du Dessin with Galerie Grillon (Paris: Grand Palais, 2011–2017).
