Virginie Nègre

Virginie Nègre, a contemporary French painter, infuses her canvases with a vibrant array of emotions, color, and light. Her work, characterized by a distinct feminine sensuality, captivates the imagination and beckons viewers into her captivating universe.

At the age of 38, Nègre made the bold decision to embark on a new chapter in her professional life, dedicating herself fully to painting. Under the tutelage of Monique Baroni, she honed her craft, bringing her subjects to life with layers of pigment, acrylic, and masking. While her paintings often feature flowers, herds, human bodies, and faces, they are united by a common thread—a sensitivity to the canvas's surface.

For Nègre, figuration serves as a mere pretext, as her true focus lies on the interplay of emotions and matter. She seamlessly blends figurative elements with abstract aspects, inviting viewers to engage their imagination and interpretation. Her artistic philosophy centers on listening to one's desires, a sentiment she encourages in her students as well.

Nègre's work has garnered acclaim both in France and abroad, with exhibitions in numerous salons and galleries. Her workshop/gallery on rue de l'église in Antony serves as a warm and inviting space for artistic exchange, where she hosts musical jams and impromptu dinners, fostering a sense of community among fellow artists.

In addition to her exhibitions, Nègre also shares her expertise through courses, where she guides students in exploring materials, composition, and color. Emphasizing the importance of painting what one feels, she encourages her students to unleash their creativity and embrace their artistic instincts.

With an open invitation to her workshop, Nègre welcomes all who are drawn to her vibrant and emotive paintings, offering them a glimpse into a world filled with color and emotion.
