Catherine Metz - Vergnet

After years where I practiced my profession as a doctor with passion, I discovered in the 1990s the painting that has always been a form of meditation for me

It allowed me to find a lot of joy and calm in creativity, figurative (or not) and especially in the use of colors

WHO I AM

Life led me on the path of being able to overcome traumatic shocks, I made the promise to live, and it is in silence that true resilience lies. Resilience - - - the art of navigating the torrents
Painting was for me a therapy to regain my inner peace after the heavy days of care, listening, and support for my patients
My values are defined by empathy, attention to others, listening, honesty, loyalty, work, recognition of the other's emotional states.

 Abstract for me is painting feelings and sensations, transmitting emotions, to directly invite exploration of the imagination and emotions

" To each their own path " For a long time now I have made the choice to follow the one that Theodore Monod followed, " the seeker of the Absolute ". "We must set challenges for our lives in order to see further, higher… "

 My color is blue: color of calm and stability, also refers to trust, loyalty, truth inspired by ZAO WOU KI Often associated with serenity, wisdom and symbolic dreams. This color allows me to regain my Inner calm. 
 

Engaged in this inner quest, this path for me passed through humanitarian work and now continues through painting, the work of colors, of the touch both sensitive and determined to transcend my reality and bring the other person to meet theirs
