Uthred Painting by Estelle Bonenfan

Born in Lyon in 1997, Estelle Bonenfan is a childish character who is easily amazed. But she also knows how to be dark and lives in a universe that mixes, with a strange naturalness, sweet poetry and morbid sadness.

Since her earliest childhood, which she spent with her painter mother, Estelle was immersed in the world of Art and thus developed her artistic sensibility very early on. His mother encouraged him and valued his work by drawing inspiration from his childhood drawings to compose his own paintings.
At the age of 6, she was already actively involved in the preparation of art exhibitions, not hesitating to give her opinion.
At 9 she was writing very mature and serious poetry for her age, at the same time she was learning the basics of oil painting.
At 12 she took a hammer and a chisel to hammer the sandstone, trying to read in the stone the features she was to find there.

At 18, she entered the National School of Architecture in Lyon and discovered Indian ink and pen. She is encouraged in her rejection of academicism, which motivates her to develop as an artist.
At 19, she really started painting and gradually began to exhibit, alongside her studies.
