Exciting young French artist Delphine BERNARD,
based in Singapore, discovered art in an unconventional
way in her late twenties, launching an amazing five-year
journey towards the realisation of her gift for abstract
painting.
A journalist with no previous interest in contemporary painting, Delphine one night saw a documentary on the art and philosophy of French abstract master Georges Mathieu. The beauty of Mathieu’s art made her cry, and by the end of the film everything had changed. For the first time art had truly entered Delphine’s life and her world would never be the same.
Leaving her job, she immediately embarked on a three-month journey to India. Through meditation she discovered an ability to see the world in all its beauty… and the ability to express this beauty to others through painting…
Upon returning to France. Delphine isolated herself in a remote village in Brittany. There, she dedicated herself to her work, which began to achieve recognition.
In 2005, she was invited to Singapore by Gallery Art et Domain, which had seen her work on her website. For her first six months in Singapore, she was engaged exclusively by the gallery, for whom she participated in numerous major interior design projects around the region. During this period, her clients included private homes, offices and hotels. Forty of her paintings are permanently displayed at the recently redecorated Mandarin Hotel on Orchard .
Inspired by the ancient Chinese arts, such as calligraphy, an influence that was always present in her paintings, Delphine began to study Mandarin and decided to settle in Singapore.
Now totally independent, she has founded her own company, Tailor Made Art. In addition to her own work, Delphine continues to collaborate on major interior decoration projects. For instance, her work is prominently displayed in the new condominium development The Icon, which displays four oversized canvasses in its lobby.
Athough her work is also displayed in the USA (A Muse Gallery), Delphine has elected to maintain her focus on Asia and to continue to contribute to the development of the Singaporean art scene. Permanently exhibited in gallery Art et Domain, her work was featured in the display Art Singapore 2006, and she was recently exhib...

Live Painting Performance by Delphine Bernard, National Cancer Centre Gala, in presence of PM Lee
A new art studio!
Back to work! After 15 years in Singapore I have moved back to Europe, and finally got an amazing new art studio after a long maternity leave.
Nestled in a 13th century castle in a vilage near Nîmes, the studio is gorgeous and I hope to soon host painting retreats there :-)
Tailor Made Art's founder: Delphine Bernard
Art came to Delphine Bernard as a gift.
And that gift came in an unconventional way.
One night, she saw a documentary on Action Painting pioneer Georges Mathieu.
With the French Master’s Lyrical Abstraction she discovered emotions could be expressed through art, in a free and sensual movement.
She had found her calling. Her life would never be the same.
Delphine immediately embarked on a three-month journey to India, where she learned meditation and experienced the ability to feel the energies of the world in a visual way.
Upon returning to France, Delphine sequestered herself in a remote village in Brittany, dedicating herself entirely to painting to develop her own personal style.
Soon this vibrant expression of emotion through informal art began to attract attention:
Singapore’s Gallery Art et Domain spotted her work on her and in 2005 invited her to the city-state. She worked exclusively for the gallery over a six-month period, participating in interior design projects around Asia for clients that ranged from homes to offices to hotels.
Always present in her paintings is the influence of ancient Oriental art forms such as calligraphy. Delphine decided to immerse herself more deeply in Asia by studying Mandarin and settling in Singapore.
Now totally independent, Delphine Bernard has founded her own company, Tailor Made Art.
A keen contributor to Singapore’s ever-evolving art scene, Delphine Bernard has participated in Art Fair Singapore and has held major solo exhibitions at several venues, including The Swissotel Stamford .
In addition to her own creations, Delphine collaborates on major interior decoration projects. These collaborations can be seen in some of Singapore’s most prestigious addresses including The Icon and the recently refurbished Mandarin Hotel.
Delphine is currently designing a new collection of paintings for the Shangri-La Orange Grove.
In the United States, Delphine Bernard’s work is permanently exhibited in A Muse Gallery.
On special occasions, Delphine also conducts live painting performances, thrilling audiences by creating art on large-scale canvasses in a burst of inspired improvisation.
Delphine loves sharing her passion for freedom in art with all aspiring artists. She holds bi-monthly workshops for those seeking to better enter the flow of their own inspiration and also conducts art sessions for disabled children and adults from Very Special Arts Singapore.
Developing a close relationship with and understanding of her clients, Delphine can conduct a diagnosis of their homes, offices and personalities.
The objective is to draft and conceive – in concert with the clients – the unique artwork, canvass or mural that will suit their interiors, moods and desires.
Additional decorative items – such as cushions, bedspreads or curtains – can also be drafted,with exclusive designs directly inspired by the paintings…
Freedom to create
An abstract expressionist painter in the tradition of Georges Mathieu, Delphine is creating a style of her own, balancing between art and spirituality, between such traditional arts as calligraphy and more explorative techniques like action painting and free expressionism. She exclusively uses painting knives, and usually works in acrylic paint, the brightness and quick-drying quality of which is perfectly suited to her technique.
Along the years, two distinctive styles have emerged in her work:
• tense, energetic artworks, exploding with colors and emotions; and
• gentle, contemplative paintings that convey feelings of balance, peace and harmony.
The first influence captures the raw power of creativity, which is left to express itself fully, totally, without constraint or boundary. Through her painting, the primitive forces of nature and its sheer brutal energy are unleashed, evoking the primordial theme of The Battle – the battle of the elements, the battles and wars that divide and shape humanity
The second influence, expressed through a technique and philosophy close in spirit to oriental calligraphy, sees these same energies mastered and sublimed into peaceful visions of balance and harmony. The sharp painting knives give birth to delicate details in round fantasies expressing the other fundamental need of humanity – the Quest for Love.
Whether it is peaceful visions or energetic battles that emerge on the canvas, the philosophy is the same. Delphine believes that the artistic power should be channelled back to the body through a shamanistic process; painting for her is a fusion of nature and the artist's most inner self. This belief requires that the artist paint in a trance-like mode, swiftly and without conscious thought.
At the beginning, the mind is as blank as the canvas. But, then the hands begin their dance, the heart chooses its colours, the emotions their expression...
-----------------
and a more personal touch...
My discovery of the work and philosophy of french abstract painter Georges Mathieu remains the bedrock of my work even though I now travel the great junge of colors and forms on my own...
I still stick to his vision of art as an expression of a greater inner self inside of us and do believe as he did in velocity as the better acces to the source of our talent.
My key-word is transe: I don't think while I paint, I just let my hands dance on the canvass and choose the colors they need...The first take is always the best, no second thought, beauty comes out directly or never. That's why I particurlarly enjoy acrylic colors which dry as quickly as I work.
Best part of the job is waking up in the morning and watching what came out the day before: looking at the paintings and discovering here and there visages, flowers, sceneries and animals on the canvas -stories I would never have imagined myself, directly imported from my subconscient.
Not to mention the pleasure of offering to others the great delight of imagination and beauty.

Après avoir étudié les langues, la philosophie et la littérature en classes préparatoires et à l'université, je me suis spécialisée dans le journalisme.
J'ai travaillé trois ans à Radio France jusqu'à ma rencontre foudroyante-en 1999- avec l'oeuvre du peintre français Georges Mathieu.
Cette découverte de l'abstraction lyrique puis de l'expressionisme abstrait m'a bouleversée.
Depuis je me consacre entièrement à la peinture.
Totalement autodidacte je revendique un mode d'apprentissage basé sur la passion et le plaisir avant tout.
Installe a Singapour depuis 2002, je me plonge avec bonheur dans l'etude du mandarin.
Je vends mes tableaux principalement directement aux particuliers, et par l'intermediaires de designers et d'art consultants a des hotels et condominiums prestigieux, dans le cadre de projets de decoration.
la liberte de creer et de se reveler...
C'est le peintre Georges Mathieu qui m'a ouvert la porte du monde de la peinture et même si je trace aujourd'hui une voie très personnelle dans la jungle des couleurs et des formes je me revendique toujours de sa philosophie...
Vitesse et automatisme sont au coeur de mon travail: peindre sans retenue, laisser danser les mains sur la toile, se laisser emporter, ne se poser aucune question, cela reste à mes yeux le moyen le plus sûr pour accéder à la source intérieure de son talent.
Le premier jet est toujours le meilleur, je ne retouche jamais mes tableaux, la beauté apparaît du premier coup...ou pas! alors patience, elle reviendra demain...
Ainsi s'exprime mon inconscient: mille formes, mille visages jaillisent naturellement, dans la douceur, l'harmonie parfois, souvent l'énergie ou la violence...
Les travaux ici exposés sont les plus exigeants. Ils demandent de ma part beaucoup d'énergie et d'investissement physique et psychologique. Ils ne sont pas forcément faciles à saisir pour le spectateurs car ils abondent en détails et peuvent à première vue dérouter. Mais ils sont si riches en personnages, en émotions et en histoires qu'on ne s'en lasse jamais tant ils recèlent de de secrets...
Chaque tableau est un monde en soi, et si certains vous effraient restez zen, ce n'est qu'un peu de papier, de toile et de peinture...
Bienvenue donc dans ces univers fascinants, et bon voyage...
