About the artist

I.Magnin is passionate about images! She began painting in oils at the age of 7 and has never stopped painting and drawing since. Equally attracted by the sciences, I.Magnin, after training as an engineer, pursued a career in medical imaging research at INSERM before setting up her artist's studio in Saint Jean d'Aulps (Haute-Savoie).

Influenced by Dali and the Fauves, the artist studied live models at the Beaux arts de Lyon. She was also a pupil of A. Le Cleac'h, C. SauzetJ.M. Relange and C. Debusschère.

Inspired by from the "Nature Consciente" to create a painting to create a painting high in colors, I.Magnin mixes realistic drawings, imagination, onirism and abstraction.

The last realizations of the painter were respectively marked by a work on the Nature, the Tree and on the female and male Living Models. I.Magnin is a member of the Lyon Academy of Painting.

The artist is co-founder and president of the art movement Les Transfiguratifs.
