Painting BLEU II by Marteau Frederique | Painting Abstract Landscapes Oil

Frédérique was initiated into art from an early age through museum visits and exhibitions. This first contact with art left her with strong impressions and intense emotions. As an adolescent, she visited artists' workshops and learned oil painting with Gwen Fain in Meudon. She then studied Fine Art at the Duperré School in Paris, which exposed her to many techniques, including lacquer in particular. The work of layering and transparency fascinated her and would stay with her throughout her career as a painter. After a first experience of three years working in decoration, she became a colourist for a company producing hand prostheses. Plastics became her medium and skin tones her palette. Gradually she moved away from the artistic world and worked in information technology for some time before finally quitting everything in order to dedicate herself to her passion. Reunited with her primary vocation, she studied under the painter Jean-Yves Guionet to finally see her canvases exhibited in the largest cities in the world.
