Works by Valérie Besancon
Born in Dijon in 1966, she shares her time between Vincennes and La Rochelle. She has been passionate about oil painting for 20 years. She comes from a family of artists, her sisters and brothers-in-law are musicians, her father gives shape to everything he touches by working with wood as well as stone, her mother has always painted in her spare time... She was initiated to drawing and painting.
After a period of ten years in the Martenot workshop, she met Pierre-Yves Gianini, a contemporary painter from Nogent (1945- 2019) who excels in the art of juxtaposition of forms and colours and whose work, with a "kinetic" tendency, also has a strong musical dimension.
He taught her the art of light and shade, glazing and colour, of which he was an expert. Nature and abstraction have always guided her. The supports for her inspiration are very often photographs that she could take herself by chance during a walk.
After a period exclusively turned towards pictorial research on trees, she became interested in the five elements, first of all water in movement, then air, the cosmos, finally ice and then fire. It represents for her the symbolism of dreams, escape and serenity.
