Chantal Fourdrin

Everything that life offers me, to see, to feel, to live, lives in me, nourishes me, makes me live. All the intriguing contrasts: beauty, ugliness, everything that, fortunately, escapes us, amazes me, and beyond the visual all the energy contained in each thing, in each being, inhabits me. 

The emotions thus aroused in me are the source of my art. During the years that have passed I have always drawn and painted.

My approach is not intellectual, it is instinctive and seems to me to meet a certain need for expression of the present moment or else this present also makes memories and dreams.

I like to let my feelings or my visions appear, that's when colors, shapes and volumes are born and speak. 

The choice of colors, lines, contrasts, is done according to my perceptions, I like to follow a rhythm, a movement, a balance of shapes, lines, masses, color values and I would say that is rather the work that manifests itself that is created through me.

In front of the canvas it is the adventure of dialogue between me, her and this inexorable dimension of life that surpasses us.
