It is all these impressions, these smells, that I have tried to translate into this canvas. Then a torrential rain fell, making a deafening boom on the tin roofs, the gutters overflowed ... Children we had fun taking a shower in this heavy and stinging rain with the risk that it suddenly stops, we leaving everything covered in moss!

Véronique Wibaux was born in Brazzaville. A youth spent 18 years in the Congo was not without having marked her life. Initially a restorer of paintings, she escaped from there to become a painter at the service of pure creation. Her work, rich in mixed materials and techniques, knows how to move us and even make us smile when, nourished by humanistic values, she tackles some of the great subjects of our time. Her paintings are imbued with generosity, poetry and humour. Her characters, sometimes simple paper puppets, remind us of the fragility of our world, where the sea of her mother Brittany and her memories of Africa are omnipresent and feed her imagination.
Véronique Wibaux exhibits regularly in France and abroad. She is represented in Berlin by the Axmann gallery.
