Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman,
that's me." Maya angelou
A young French painter, Coco Rohart hopes to encourage women to feel beautiful and free. Attracted to art, painting and color for as long as she can remember, as a child she spends a lot of time in her grandfather's painting studio and discovers a particular interest in art classes. She also took up music, playing the saxophone until she obtained her "brevet d'études musicales". After graduating from Sciences Po Aix and Université Paris Dauphine, Coco Rohart went on to work in New York, Paris and Los Angeles. In 2017, when she met the artist NUSHKA, she discovered oil painting, for which she fell in love. Naturally, she began painting again and set up her studio in Marseille in 2020. In 2021, Coco Rohart met figurative painter Sarah Sedwick, who became her mentor. At her side, she learns the mechanics of color and composition.
Cocoline mainly uses oil paint that she pairs with other mediums such as wax and acrylic to create different results. She paints alla prima, meaning staight on the canvas or on a wet layer. The artist completes most of her canvases in one sitting using a model in her studio or photos she's taken beforehand. The painter's signature theme is women from mythology and the present day. Cocoline sees women through kind, gentle and grateful eyes and tries to depict them differently to get away from the usual portrayal of women's bodies as sexual or maternal. Painting has helped Cocoline to feel better and more confident; she hopes to do the same to make women feel beautiful and free.\n
