"What matters to me in the act of painting is the search, the expectation of a kind of interior truth of which I have an intuition and to which it seems essential to me to give a chance to reveal yourself."



Elisabeth Poiret was born in 1953 in Argenteuil. Around the age of fifteen, the encounter with Van Gogh and his painting was the trigger for his determination to be a painter, followed by other intellectual, spiritual and artistic discoveries, which fueled his quest for the sensitive and meaningful through choice. of an artistic path.

After two years at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nancy, renowned in particular for its teaching of graphic design, she joined, on the advice of her teachers, the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts in Paris, where she was admitted to the Gustave Singier's workshop.

She obtained her final diploma in 1977.

Then and for around twenty years, painting, theater and poetry will be linked and will be part of his daily life.

She now devotes her time to the practice of painting, considered as a spiritual path in its own right, continuing through a sensitive abstraction her search for "a je ne sais quoi that can be achieved by adventure", to resume the words of John of the Cross, a practice that allows her to connect with herself and the world in an openness to the unexpected and in a meditative experience.

Above all, an exploratory work, Elisabeth Poiret's painting is developed through experimentation with very varied techniques, mediums and supports, elements that she uses alone or by combining them, attentive to the richness that can be revealed. in the approach to the material.

His visual vocabulary has thus been built up over the years through the integration of different graphic or chromatic discoveries, allowing him to visually express a part of his inner reality.
