A Nega, la nourrice. Hommage à Tarsila do Amaral (2023) Sculpture by Elisabeth Fabre Derulliere

Born in Casablanca, to a Gironde mother and a father of British origin, of Franco-Spanish culture. Youth shared between Morocco (5 years), Provence (5 years), Brazil (5 years) and Poitou-Charentes (since she was 20), during which she never stopped drawing, sketching, modeling silhouettes to satisfy her admiration for the line and the human body. Major mark in the Baccalaureate arts option. Studies of Literature and History of Art. Career in national education as a documentalist. This leaves her a little free time to participate in several workshops. Eclectic and insatiable artist who wants to touch everything and especially not to be locked into a style. Only common thread: her hereditary taste for all blues, fluidity and transparency.

Retired, settled near Royan, she can finally set up her studio in Saint Georges de Didonne and participate in different workshops in Royan or Saintes, to discover new techniques and media. Passage through the copying of masters with Thomas Cambois, copyist at the Louvre, discovery of acrylic with Rosa Skop, sketching nudes with Jeanne Thual, modeling in the studio of Hélène Collignon. But she tirelessly returns to watercolor, which she appropriates by using new supports that she borrows from other techniques, and gives it an unusual brilliance in this pictorial technique, thanks to contemporary processes. Her discovery of Contemporary Art explains why very often her creations bring us back to her environment, to her social, political or philosophical concerns. The splendor of sunsets on Atlantic beaches fascinates her. It is an invitation to admiration and contemplation. By opening one's eyes, man becomes better.
