EXPO Mélanie Charrière

Born in the Charente region of France, she knew very early on that she wanted to be an artist. After 2 years at the École des Beaux Arts in Tours, her impetus was broken. She decided to continue her studies at the Paris 1 Faculty of Fine Arts.

Buried for years, she has kept the quest for the essential, the "sensitive line" that she obtains with charcoal and that imposes itself on her as a sometimes uncontrolled evidence.

Her main subjects are androgynous, gentle or enigmatic women, through whom she attempts to capture a look, an emotion.

To paint a portrait of a woman is to tell the story of a struggle that must be experienced in the material in which she combines collage, transfer and imprint.
