Romantique (2012) Painting by Danielle De Block

Born in 1945, in a family of musicians, very young, then teenager, I already love to draw and paint: it is my passion.
As a teacher, I put my talent at the service of children. I create shows, sets, drawing, DIY and musical expression workshops.

As soon as I retire, I finally realize my dream: to paint.
I attend the Academy of Plastic Arts" Gustave Camus" de Châtelet and follow private lessons at the Atelier d'Art d'Acoz, professor Madame STRZELZYCK Micha. I devote myself to my passion.
I fit into many artistic circles.

My works are multiplying, techniques are evolving.
Each painting is a story, a lived landscape, an emotion reflecting my affinity for human beings, nature and especially the sea. My works are therefore imbued with realism but I like to add
a magical and dreamy atmosphere thus proclaiming my optimism, my joie de vivre and my joy in painting.

Painting is a need, a passion. I'm not claiming anything, above all I want to seduce the eye by combining colors that are sometimes soft and sometimes powerful.

My objective? Spread light, space, movement, escape on my canvases.

And when I free myself from the figurative by creating "abstract" compositions, I still look for the explosion of colors in harmony or in contrast but in ordered movement.
