Chantal Gavriel, the dynamic founder of Paul Cezanne Academy of Painting left behind her American expatriation to answer the call of her first love: the South of France.​

Always driven by a fervent passion for art and amazed by the natural beauty of this region, she chose to return to France after many years abroad.

​

Her deep desire is to share her unconditional love for the art and nature of the PACA region.

Provence irresistibly attracts her with its majestic landscapes and its rich artistic heritage.

These iconic places once captivated great masters such as Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse, Renoir and Picasso, all of whom left their indelible mark on art history.

​

By founding this noble institution dedicated to artistic education, Chantal realized her ultimate dream: to share and transmit her passion for Provençal art and nature. Her objective is to offer its students a unique, tailor-made learning environment, where they can freely express and develop their full artistic potential, drawing inspiration from the culture, light and enchanting landscapes of Provence.

​

With her experience in the field of the arts and deeply passionate about this universe, she kindly guides her students along the paths of their artistic journey, thus helping them to reach their creative fullness.

​

Only happiness!
