Title of work: "La photographe des illusions"
Concept of the work "La photographe des illusions":
The work "La photographe des illusions" was made by the artist for her series of works entitled "Metaphors of feelings" . In this series, the artist uses situations, objects, real places in modern life where people interact, through an "Imaginary Reality", to demonstrate feelings, emotions and reflections linked to the soul.
In this particular work, the artist deals with trips around the world, in this case the temple of Delphos. Considered the “navel of the world”, the city of Delphos received this name thanks to the myth that narrates Zeus's search for the midpoint of the Earth. In order to delimit this place, Zeus sent two eagles from opposite ends of the world (in the case of this work, the eagles are represented by the artist through the 2 floating goddesses), one flying towards the other. They met in Delphi, designating the city as the center of the world, and making their temple a esteemed place for those looking for help and security.
The meeting point of the eagles was marked with an oval stone, the omfalo (navel, in Greek). The oval shape of the stone probably stems from a belief that this shape transmitted good energy to those who touched it. Hence the place is called "Oracle of Delphos".
The phrase " Know yourself " was inscribed on the entrance to the Oracle of Delphos in order to stimulate the reflection of the ancient Greeks. Located in Greece, in the city of Delphos, the temple was originally dedicated to Apollo, god of light, reason and true knowledge, patron of wisdom. This sentence would have the purpose of promoting, to people, self-knowledge and an investigation of their own depths in order to better deal with themselves and the world around them. There are other interpretations of that phrase, such as: " Remember who you are " or even " Recognize your place in the Cosmos "
The artist introduces the photographer at the present time, recording the scenes of this distant, but so current past ... "Remember who you are" and "Recognize your place in the Cosmos"
With 70 X 90 cm, the work is imposing and looks good in a cozy corner of the living room, in a place for reading or meditation, in the bedroom, in the office or even in a clinic. It is a work that will say a lot about you and make your environment cozy.
If you are unsure of where to put it, my suggestion is to leave the work highlighted in your room to impact everyone who enters and thus generate more pleasure for you on a daily basis and more interaction and subject with your guests.
Fatima Marques has been a visual artist for over 15 years. With academic and contemporary influences, the artist creates works that reflect the Universe of the Feminine in terms of beauty, feelings, dreams and daily life reflections / questions.
Having served as a senior marketing executive in some of the largest multinational consumer goods companies for over 30 years, she lived and felt the challenges of a corporate world up close (a very masculine world at the time, therefore rational) , logical and competitive) which consisted, in a way, of repressing feelings, emotions, dreams ... Thus, Fatima Marques discovered in painting, the ideal way to vent reflections, feelings and dreams. Besides, of course, being able to de-stress from day to day work, being able to connect with yourself and being with your mind in the present / now.
The union of these elements, generated the visual identity and the theme for which the artist is known today ... the "Art of the Feminine, of possible emotions and dreams".
Fascinated by the world of the arts, especially by the technique of great masters of oil painting from the Renaissance and Baroque period, and by the Surrealist style, over the years, she acquired her knowledge through art history courses, international trips and in a studio. painting, where you can improve your design, techniques and creativity.
Thus, the artist's production is configured in the oil on canvas technique - Contemporary realistic Figurative Style, through an artistic language intrinsically associated with feeling, from the perspective of the "universe of the feminine". The dialogue between classical and contemporary art, characterizes his work, and is related to what can be conceptualized as "Imaginary / Fantastic Realism" (that is, the intersection between the real / concrete world and the world of dreams, the interiorization of themselves, possible emotions and perspectives).

Fatima Marques brings in her work the mark of an acute artistic sensitivity, which gives life and energy to her timeless figures, in a wise relationship between the classic and the contemporary. She is, above all, an artist with a natural command of technique.

Financially a work of art does not lose its value and has a very high growth potential. In 2017, Basquiat's work “Untitled” was sold for a record value of US $ 110 million.
