Catherine Cayssials

Self-taught artist, Catherine Cayssials was born in Albi. Painting comes into his existence in an unexpected way, without anything hitherto suggesting an artistic career.

She immediately asserts her personal style, which she constantly refines and develops.

Without hesitation, she opted for work in oils, better suited to her research in the intensity of colors and her taste for "matter".

After trying out various themes: characters, animals, landscapes, flowers ... She has been studying the theme of vegetation for more than two years.

His figurative work marked by the work of colors expresses a real appetite for life, abundance and movement.

Figurative work, yes, but not realistic.

Indeed, Catherine Cayssials gives us in her paintings her very particular look on the environment and on existence itself. Dreamlike gaze imbued with spirituality and resolute optimism. Its lush and colorful gardens and undergrowth - alternately tender and serene, or gushing and bubbling - offer perspective and sensations. They seem to evoke the gardens of Eden .... The search for lost paradises.

His quickly recognized talent allows him to regularly obtain prizes, diplomas or trophies, in various fairs and exhibitions.

It has featured prominently at the Salon d'Automne in Paris, Salon d'Automne International in Tel Aviv, MCA salon in Cannes.

In 2017, the city of Albi devoted a personal exhibition to him in the prestigious setting of the Hôtel Rochegude.

Medalist of the Academy of Arts, Sciences and Letters of Paris, of the World of Culture and the Arts of Cannes, of the International Salon d'Automne in Sorèze, and of the International Academy of Merit and French Dedication.
