Corinne Vilcaz | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Since her childhood, Corinne has attended the workshops of the Fine Arts school. Everything that passes through her hands (paper, fabric, pencils...) is an opportunity to create according to her imagination. It is first of all by the learning of the sculpture that she discovers the art. Very quickly, this young student became passionate about other artistic practices (ink, chalk, gouache, watercolor...). Corinne is first and foremost a colorist and eventually turns to watercolor and oil painting. \While studying languages and international trade, she attended several watercolorist workshops. There she learned to work with watercolor in the "wet on wet" technique. This technique consists in working on a wet support to disperse the colors and obtain a vaporous effect. The dispersion of the colors lets the white of the paper appear. This will be a determining factor for her future oil paintings: letting the white in, letting the light shine through... Corinne then participated in several oil painting workshops at the Beaux-arts. There she worked on an approach that revealed her to herself: abstraction. This style allows her to expose herself and reveal a more personal side. After the academic apprenticeship of Fine Arts, Corinne gradually lets her path go towards an impressionist painting with a deliberately suggested vision. Matter, relief and texture become the revelators of a free representation. The essence of her work remains the light, the white. This color invades her paintings to bring in the subtle, the invisible, the divine... This light is only the magic of the inspiration that floods the artist and pushes her to create. She exhibits in numerous galleries in Europe and abroad where her paintings are highly appreciated. The sensuality of a Klimt, the colors of a Van Gogh, or the strength of a Soulages are the influences that nourish her look.
