About Me

Hi World!

I'M ANDRIANJAFITRIMO,

I was born in Madagascar and now residing in Gaithersburg Maryland, I have enjoyed drawing from a young age.

When I was a student at the University of Antananarivo, I was a cartoonist and illustrator for a student magazine and a designer in an association working on environmental education for primary and secondary schools students.

A STEM teacher by profession, I began to paint only in 2013. In 2016, I took courses in color theory, art of sketching and portraiture at Montgomery College, Maryland. Following that, I took online courses in the New Masters Academy platform and I have learned from books and instructional videos to acquire new techniques and tips.

I like to paint to relax. For me, painting is a means of developing patience, sharing inner peace, and communicating my message to others. 

I focus on realism while seeking, as much as possible, the elements that are important to me in my works, namely light, atmosphere, emotions as well as the details of the places I paint. This challenge is met with each new painting I produce.

Je suis né à Madagascar et maintenant j’ habite à Gaithersburg Maryland, j'aime dessiné depuis mon plus jeune âge. Quand J’était étudiant à l’université d’Antananarivo, j’était dessinateur humoristique et illustrateur d’une revue estudiantine. J’étais aussi dessinateur dans une association oeuvrant dans le domaine d’éducation environnementale pour les élèves des écoles primaires et secondaires. 

Enseignant chercheur de carrière, ce n’est qu’en 2013 que j’ ai commencé à peindre en privilégiant comme medium la peinture à l’huile. J'aime peindre pour se détendre et pour trouver le calme intérieur. La peinture est pour moi le moyen de developper la patience et la tolerance, de partager la paix intérieure, et de communiquer aux autres mon message.  

J’ai choisi le style réalisme tout en cherchant, le plus possible, les éléments qui me semblent importants dans mes oeuvres, soit la lumière, les ambiances, les émotions ainsi que les détails des lieux. Ce défi se relève à chaque nouveau tableau que je produit.

Inspiration

I usually get inspired by nature, poems and songs. These are inexhaustible sources of inspiration for me. They give me emotions that I want to express by reviving it on a blank canvas just waiting to be filled with colors. I have a sketchbook where I sketches and memories ideas that could be used for future projects.

Je m'inspire généralement de la nature, des poèmes et des chansons. Ce sont pour moi des sources d'inspiration inépuisables. Ils me procurent des émotions que j'ai envie d'exprimer en les ravivant sur une toile vierge qui ne demande qu'à être remplie de couleurs. J'ai un carnet d'esquisse où je dessine et mémorise des idées qui pourraient être utilisées pour de futurs projets.

Techniques

I use oil and acrylic to paint canvas whether or not they would be framed.
