STEPHANIE DE MALHERBE

Born in Boulogne-Billancourt, Stéphanie de Malherbe is a graduate of Penninghen, a graphic arts college. After working for the fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier, where among other things she transcribed into drawings her costume ideas for Luc Besson's “The 5th Element”, she spent 11 years in Mexico and 5 years in Spain, before returning to France. She lives in an old school in Chartre-sur-le-Loir, where she exhibits her work. Nature and reading are her main sources of inspiration. Stéphanie de Malherbe's painting often borders on abstraction, and is characterized by transparencies, superimpositions and contrasts of color. She likes to make tones vibrate by juxtaposing complementary colors. “To paint is to unleash all our creative potential and reveal the power of the soul.

CAROLINE FAINDT

A self-taught artist with a radiant personality, Caroline sees the canvas as a space for experimentation and freedom. She attaches particular importance to working with materials and colors. Caroline works in oils, pastels and acrylics, adding coffee, ink, charcoal and other materials as she sees fit. Her canvases reveal Love and uniqueness, with poetic titles expressing her desire to color the world. Key to Freedom, to Love, to Truth, or Key to self-knowledge that opens the way to relationships with others? The artist leaves us free to interpret this symbol, so dear to her, which we find hidden in each of her canvases, a discreet signature or a philosophical wink...

HOM NGUYEN

Born in Paris in 1972, Hom Nguyen is a self-taught artist with an instinctive style. A non-conformist personality, his work is just as non-conformist.

Each of his canvases appears like a battle, a hand-to-hand combat with the material from which emerges a desire: to reveal the innermost depths of the human being through lines and color.
