Delprat's highly visual works are rich in diverse references.
The diverse artistic originals act as a catalyst for the French artist's own pictures and objects, in which the references are constantly reassembled according to the principle of collage or montage, but also deformed and alienated, intensified or multiplied. Accordingly, the title of her paintings or exhibitions are mostly quotations.
"With my voice I'm calling you" is taken from the chorus of the melancholic song Jesus Alone by the band 'Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds', in which the Australian vocalist sings about both life and death. The line seems to be a luring call from the afterlife as well as an invocation of the dead. This emblematic painting could summarize the heart of her approach and one of the central questions of her work: the question of the voice and through it the question of narration.
