"Painting is a magic that transforms a blank canvas into a dream, an emotion, a journey, what the viewer has in his soul".

Véronique Degabriel, a self-taught painter, has lived in the Luberon for over 40 years. Born on Reunion Island, she draws her inspiration from the luminous, colorful nature of her surroundings. After a career unrelated to art, she has devoted her retirement to her passion for painting, exhibiting her work through Carré d'Artistes for the past two years. Her paintings are characterized by vivid color contrasts, highlighting the remarkable features of Provencal landscapes and emblematic monuments.

Although Véronique DEGABRIEL has experimented with many mediums, today she mainly uses oil and acrylic. She is inspired by the impressionist painters of the Marseille school of the 19th century, whose first master is Emile Loubon, but also by Cézanne, Van Gogh and Turner. As a true nature lover, Véronique draws her inspiration from the landscapes of Provence and the Alps. After having made a sketch or a photo of the chosen landscape, she carefully selects the colors she wishes to use and which will determine the atmosphere of each creation. The artist, who works mainly with a painting knife, seduces with her colorful and luminous style of her canvases which invite to escape and travel.
