Raphaële was born into a family of veterinarians and grew up surrounded by animals. Within these scientific surroundings she learned to love as well as observe them carefully. Combining a keen sense of observation and a sure brushstroke, she joined the Art School of Lyon to study illustration. She began her career using her talents as an illustrator of children’s books. She also participated in the creation of theatre posters, magazine illustrations and postcards. But soon she discovered that she preferred to express herself in more personal painting exhibitions.

Her often offbeat perception of the world is reflected in the harmony of shapes and colours that splash the canvas.
Raphaële focuses exclusively on the representation of the animal world that has always surrounded her. That is why she prefers painting with oil, which provides a wide range of colours and materials, bringing her paintings to life. She continues to recreate the world of her childhood through her colourful and plump animals.
To give texture to her paintings, Raphaële places flat glass beads ("Chinese marbles") in the animals’ eyes.
