Emilie
Her palette is colorful, and his paintings express his emotions. Émilie draws her colorful moments with her heart.
French artist-painter from Ardèche, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Émilie practices, studies and explores the immense possibilities of watercolor, acrylic and pastel techniques based on the concept of our memory.
The artist is also passionate about hiking and photography, which has inspired and fueled her colorful creations.
It is the novelty and improvisation in the artistic creation of these magnificent natural places that fascinates her, arouses her emotions and inspires her the most.
The play of light and shadow, the superposition of materials and colors create textures that she possesses intuitively.
Seeking to transmit poetic visions of moments and contact with nature, as well as to transmit an emotion, a smell, a feeling or a memory, she lets herself be dictated by her instincts, her freedom of movement and the sweet surprises that reveal these mediums.
Marlène
​After working for two years in the fine arts of Besançon, her hometown, Marlène followed the traditional path that many women choose one day: marriage, children and family. Very artistic and passionate, life took another path: she began teaching in various associations organizing exhibitions in the region and in 2001 Marlène opened her own workshop in the charming village of Valbonne. After practicing all the techniques: watercolors, oils, acrylics... she trains young students to help them prepare for art schools. Not too inclined to the academic side, Marlène likes to give everyone the choice to explore their own technique and to support them. Marlène will teach you to discover your inner moon in a magical place surrounded by olive trees. A great life opportunity awaits you.
