"Rather than recreating what I see, I prefer to interpret what I perceive. It is necessary to be at least two in one to make an artistic creation. One who builds and one who sees. The ideal would be that each "reader" could recreate the painting, the poem, or any other form of art, with his own intonations, his past, the movements of his/hers inner soul waves. The second thunderbolt strike has more importance than the first, it is the one which remains alive.
The wheel turns, I make a patchwork of scraps and tend to read "ourselves."
Certain lives are spelling themselves within, in which I find in myself fragmented. I know only your words, pencils of sun, those which thread between the shade and the light its mysterious side.
The flow of my brushes foams on the fine stone of your glances. The box of faces slipping into my pocket, I push life at my measure, and untie simply its cord with a voice... "

"Se frictionner de couleurs et de mots, bouffée tonique ; ou bien encore les laisser filer, partage en tous sens, alors que ceux-ci n'ont pas la même signification, la même résonance pour tout à chacun ; quelle étrange activité !
Serait-ce procéder à un émiettement ou à un remodelage de soi ?
Aucune certitude. Le choix ne m'est pas laissé. J'achoppe sur les mémoires, ces tégénaires. Je ne sais que les guillochures mises à nue, le vertige incongru, l'exil, le tumulte des phrases et des formes.
Certains jambages ou tracés de pinceaux, singulièrement, me laissent démantelée, me dessillent - l'un ou les deux à la fois - spirales du dos étirées, me projettent hors du temps et de l'espace, en eau vive. Quels sont les buts de l'expression? de cet ensemencement sur les saisons...
Faudra-t-il parler toutes les langues ?
...Apprendre probablement à ne plus toujours s'empaler sur les lignes, sortir les barbelés de la toile et faire rêver aussi dans l'embrasure - l'espace d'un souffle - en eau profonde. "

"I meet again with the same enjoyment Laurence dSM's texts with the same qualities, one being in my opinion to mix the styles : both poetry and narrative writing, images and a touch of theatre flavour. And more, she writes in good and well-balanced french".

- Laurence de Sainte-Maréville also writes and draws for children and you can ask her a unique gift : a story especially written and illustrated for your child.
Like a house, her talent has several rooms, but in each one you will recognize the unique fragrance of this french emerging artist's work, who can can spend several days on a single detail, to give you in the end this impression that there is always a picture behind the picture.
Laurence de Sainte Maréville's art is a whole world to discover. Her drawings both remind us of our inner nature and gives us new landscapes to explore. "
