During the last few years Christine Comyn began to combine her passion for contemporary female portraits with her interest for 18th century art and history, more specifically with the character of Marie Antoinette, the last queen of the Ancien Régime, who had always fascinated her. Her most recent art project ?La Douceur de lIgnorance? rose from the intention to make the ties between the time of Marie Antoinette and our contemporary world visible, and especially those concerning women. Beside her traditional acryl and watercolor paintings, Comyn experimented with modern visual techniques like digital photomontages and compositions. Thanks to these very innovative methods she can digitalize her pictorial work and assemble details from different pictures in a new polyvalent work. The result of this both visual and conceptual association process are images charged with a deep symbolical significance.
