Painting Je sens que c'est toi by Desserle Cecile | Painting Figurative Portrait Oil

After pursuing a double education devoted to the Fine Arts and to Visual Arts, Cécile began her career as a teacher. As she spent her time imparting her techniques and cultural knowledge to students, the artist from Avignon also began to make her own art on the side. Cécile is deeply attached to the notion of gestures in her artistic practice and quickly turned her attention to works of Action Painting, and especially to artistic creations by the French artists Ernest Pignon-Ernest (born in 1942) and Jacques Villéglé (born in 1926). The artist then began writing her own artistic language, lending special attention to typographic characters in the composition of her works, combined with the predominance given to gestures in her pieces. Her efforts to capture movement on her canvas, to "capture forever that which is fleeting, and all that is furtive", is a quest that has always been a motor for the artist, who has never stopped proving herself over the years.
