If you call the Union of Architects of the Côte d’Azur (Saca), you’ll hear the voice of Anne de Renzis on the line. Anne manages communication in the broadest sense of the term, both between professionals and externally. She is, however, also an artist. Her background ? The National School of Applied Arts, then the Fine Arts Academy in Bourges. “Painting allows you to transcend reality. I portray daily life with its problems, its complexes... I have a very strong empathy for the female body.” In fact, the modern-day woman is omnipresent, working, jogging, shopping, feeling guilty when she eats ice-cream and remembering to buy potted grass for her cat. It’s not easy to classify Anne’s work, halfway been comic strips, manga and Pop Art, a style that is easily recognizable. About every six months, she exhibits her work, solo or with other artists, and every day she makes notes, sketches or draws in notebooks kept like a secret diary. “My work has become an outlet, a way of interacting with everything I can store away.” An atypical artist, bearing witness to life’s little worries and cares. 06 27 34 92 01 et www.annederenzis.com
