Biography

Biography

It all began a long time ago; my passion for horses dates back to my early childhood. In my memories, I see a vivid image: the stable where I spent time with my aunt, a renowned animal painter. My interest in painting as a young girl, captivated by my aunt's work, impressed me and inspired me to draw. I drew everywhere, in the margins of my school notebooks and on my desk. I would doodle nervously with a pen on scraps of paper during phone conversations or when deep in thought. My subject? Always the horse. There are many others (birds for the past few years), but the horse holds a special place in my repertoire. Now, it reigns supreme in my studio.

My horses are represented in different ways, whether transparent to give a fading effect with the background or, more realistically in the tradition of figurative art. In these two forms of composition one element remains immutable, in observation, the viewer feels the soul of each horse that I paint on my canvases.

When my mediums overlap, whether acrylic, oil, watercolor or charcoal, with my brush I shape the line in such a way as to make the white light emerge from the black light. Creating on a vaporous background, I incorporate plant elements, from which birds emerge in flamboyant and sometimes softer colors. The applied color pigments intensify their movements, projecting them to the front of the canvas. I can only stop at one technique in my creation ritual. Their explorations require refined research in my pictorial composition.

Having several international exhibitions (Vancouver, New York, New Mexico, Texas, France) under my belt during my 25-year career, I have received several awards and honors from my peers.
