FLEURS CACHEES (2007) Painting by Catherine Lannes

Versaillaise by birth, I left the gray and stressful life of the Paris region and have lived for more than twenty years near Montpellier.
As a child, I always loved “drawing” but it is only recently that I satisfied my passion for painting or rather that I finally dared to embark on the adventure of creation. But perhaps I was expecting a certain intellectual and emotional maturity?
More than words on paper, my paintings speak for themselves.
Sitting in front of the blank canvas like the writer in front of his white page, when my brushes come to life, the world around me disappears, I am alone...And my emotions come to life under my fingers, I love the bright colors that burst and illuminate life, but black also sometimes finds its place to better transcend color... or the purity of white.

Versailles of birth, I left the grayness and the stressful life of land of Paris and I have lived for twenty years close to Montpellier. Child, I always liked “crayonner” but it is recently that I appeased my passion for painting or rather than I dare finally to launch me in the adventure of creation. But perhaps I expected a certain intellectual and emotional maturity? More than the words on paper, my fabrics even speak about them. Sat in front of the virgin fabric like the writer in front of his white page, when my brushes become animated, the world around me disappears, I am alone… And my emotions take life under my fingers, I like the colors sharp which burst and illuminate the life, but the black also sometimes finds its place for better transcending the color… or the purity of the white.
