Rosario d'Espinay Saint-Luc

From the Cauca Valley, in Colombia where she was born, to the Ecuadorian Andes, then a perilous crossing of the Oceans, her life is the story of an uprooting, in the midst of the din of civil war, in a shattered family and gathered several times. And then one day the flight with two children, towards freedom, love. Provence.

During all these years, nature is his sanctuary, his refuge, and little by little while the creative intention emerges in his consciousness, the aesthetic impulse, a common thread appears to him. Painting leads her in an irrepressible way to bring together the pieces of her life, her forgotten roots, her exile, her happiness as a mother, her achievement as a woman.

Her techniques are tools to express an intention of union with herself, her history, nature which is her mother, and men. “The search for light, rhythms and intensity are the foundations of his art. "
