Yannick Bernard

Yannick Bernard is a French lacquer painter, born in 1958.

Study the language of painting from the 5th century to the present day at the Artquarium school in Geneva.

Driven by a passion for movement and color, she speaks to us about freedom, sharing, beauty, and invites us to take a break in her art which she calls “Contemplative Art”.

It is the quest for an art that liberates rather than traps, contemplative art opens gaps in our mental routines offering a deeper vision of reality.

This is also what explains the choice of lacquer which is distinguished by its slow execution and is similar to a real meditation.

Lacquer is a living material that reveals itself layer after layer. On rhythmic structures, Yannick Bernard gives free rein to his love for color, transparency, and depth which shine through his paintings.
