Frédéric de Petiville

Psychographologist and now professional coach, Frédéric de Petiville is both a doctor and a painter of souls. Expert in the reading of psyches through writing, he learned at the Beaux-Arts to reveal all the shadow and light areas of a character using the French transparency technique. After having represented women for a long time, a whole psychological symbol, his painting is now oriented towards more introspective questions, very linked to his childhood. Descendant of a painter, a pupil of Corot, Frédéric de Petiville grew up in the green countryside and its pictorial representation. Then the passage in boarding school changes his perspectives and gives him a new outlook on the world. In this quasi phalanstery of dizzying proportions, he finds himself confronted with solitude and absence.
