VALérie rinDoff petrOFF = Val d'Off
Val d’Off has always been concerned by the universe of words and images from which she
draws her inspiration. Implied in the virtual world that surrounds us, her work is based on
the use of paper and typography (magazines, books, handwritings, digital supports printings)
all mixed in her creations.
While carefully structured, her works reveal an instinctive feeling of freedom with no limit.
She uses colors as well as black & white (ink, pencils, acrylic, pastels) on papers torn
to pieces and then restuck on canvases – she loves the depth coming out of this
interesting patchwork. We can easily understand her love for photography through her
canvases’ framing, shadows & lights, like a frozen picture of an emotion, a
movement, a moment of life.
Val d’Off’s cursus has mostly been off the tracks but her pencils have always
been at hand. Since her early teens, she has kept drawing out of mere pleasure, desire or more
simply out of vital need.
2002 – Her career is launched with the illustration for Universal Classic Music of a
series of 28 cds & booklets “Le Petit Ménestrel”, The Tales of
Composers’ life for children.
2004 – She realizes a personal project through a graphic creation “The
Canopus” setting her child caracters in a world of tolerance based on a dialogue
including different cultural backgrounds.
2006 – “The Canopus” become a preschool animation series broadcasted on
France 5 (French TV Channel) (52 episodes will be daily released)
2009 – She totally involves herself in her own creation looking for new means of
expression and supports, translating her emotions on canvases.
