etoile-de-mer.jpg (2018) Drawing by Annie Vandemalle

Born in 1966, Annie Vandemalle is a French artist who lives and works in France. An architect by training, she graduated from the Lille School of Architecture in 1996, and then deepened her expertise in decorative painting at the Van der Kelen Institute in Brussels in 2000, then as a heritage decorative painter in Avignon in 2014.

Her works, mainly in pastel on linen canvas and paper, are part of the fauvism and naive art movements. Inspired by the freedom of color specific to fauvism and the expressive simplicity of naive art, Annie Vandemalle creates paintings that vibrate with a particular emotional intensity. Her compositions, often rich in bright colors, capture the essence of landscapes, scenes of life, and human figures with a spontaneity and freshness that touch the viewer.

Since her return to artistic creation after a three-year spiritual retreat in a Buddhist center in Savoie, she has participated in numerous group exhibitions in France, notably in Paris, Nice, and Menton, as well as internationally, in Florence. Her works have been presented in renowned galleries such as the Galerie Tchaïkovsky in Nice and the Art Galerie Paris 15 in Paris. She has also organized solo exhibitions, the first in 1996 in Tournai, Belgium, under the title "Tohu Bohu". Annie Vandemalle sees in the creative process an exploration of the unknown, a connection with subtle energies that she translates onto the canvas with an openness to infinity. Her work, deeply rooted in her spiritual journey, reflects a quest for transcendence and a celebration of timeless beauty.
