Michèle Duretête-Brodel

I've always loved drawing, but my career path kept me away from painting for a number of years.

I took up drawing and painting again in 2003 and discovered pastels in 2006.

Since then, I've only used this medium, which suits me perfectly. I love its sensuality.

I started out as a portrait painter, but now I tackle a range of themes (landscapes, seascapes, still lifes, etc.) and paint realistically with my personality, above all for my own pleasure. I make Anatole France's quote 'In art, as in love, instinct is enough...' my own.

Since 2008, solo and group exhibitions in France and abroad
