From her native Burgundy to Paris, painter Melissa Pinon has developed a modern and figurative work form which she has earned a large recognition. In 2001, she discovered “The Skate” ( La raie - 1728 ) one of Jean-Baptiste Chardin’s most famous paintings. She then decided to copy the work.. through the artist's practice is built a thinking process about the value of imitation in an artist’s career. In short, how does one become a painter nowadays?
