Fabienne is a french professionnal painter, graduated in Fine Art. She studied experimental cinema and engraving at the "Institut d'Arts Visuels" of Orléans, France. But her favorite practice, in cinema, was to draw the story-boards !
She get an Art School High Diploma in 1989.

Main time, she paints from imagination, because she likes the freedom of evocation. She likes working in figurative, abstract, impressionism or photorealism ways. She always says that the most important, for her, is to create images !

She is also a lyrical mezzo singer in the professionnal choir from Opera of Tours, France.

Influences :
As a former art school student, Fabienne keeps in mind what she learned about History of Art. She is influenced by Old Master Caravaggio : shadow and light, chiaroscuro, dramatism of the light, high contrast. As a french painter, she got a special preference for french Impressionistic period, with painters such Degas, Monet, Gauguin, etc... Science of color and of interpretation of the nature.

Subjects :
Fabienne is interested with all kind of subjects : landscapes, forests, flowers, human figure, still life.
Imagination, dream, fantasy or memory, never mind : she is looking for the poesy. And also, sometimes, she explodes some seriousness, some mystery... It's life : beauty and sadness...

Technic :
Fabienne uses a lot of technics on canvas, paper or wood: oil, watercolor, ink, watersoluble pencils, acrylic, acrylic markers, colored pencils, mixed media, spray paint... She likes graphism in the painting. And glazes too ! She often uses transparent colors. She is very interested by the richness of transparency in the painting. The old glazes oil technic is now available with the layers of beautiful high quality acrylics.
