Tiven - Soul Painter
The painter Tiven was born in 1973 in Paris - France.
During his psychology studies, evening classes in fine nude art, his numerous trips and residences abroad (Guadeloupe, Portugal and Morocco) and his career in advertising, Tiven has always painted.
2 major periods characterize his artistic work
The first, its solid colors combining postures and colors without faces, highlighting the moment, desire and pure emotion
The second in 6 years, portraits.
She combines face and message in the power of her looks and her raw and instinctive line.
His faces question us about ourselves, but also about each other. Identity will therefore play an integral part in his creations.
His inspiration, the world around him, with its divisions, its dictates, where appearance takes precedence over being or the color of the skin, the crease of the eyes and the curl of hair immediately puts the other in a conscious bias.
So Tiven wants to redefine the codes, asks us to ask ourselves these questions: am I my appearance? Does my face define the path I walk? Are my deep roots those of my body or my soul? What are my origins? What drives me?
She wants us to ask ourselves all these questions when we look at her portraits. These women come from all walks of life, from all nations. It pushes us to consider the other in their faces as a multitude of possibilities by cleverly playing on the marks of physical identities by mixing continents within a single face.
They support life stories, buried feelings and always push us to ask ourselves if they are real. Today she accepts the gift that was given to her when she was little, to see beyond appearances, to converse with the souls she meets through all the people who cross her path. She then remains with a feeling, an imprint, a warmth, a color and all the beauty of the beings she meets, she puts it in her painting. Tiven today has the chance to collaborate with very beautiful brands including the famous luxury candle brand BAOBAB Collection and to exhibit in different cities including Casablanca, Marrakech, Paris, Lyon, Marseille, NY, Brussels, London.
