Françoise Vandiedonck
Like dormant underground water, the "painting of the elusive" slowly infiltrated the hollow of my dreams, to metamorphose into an undulating trickle, then into an impetuous flow.
Biography
For a long time, the world of art: music, literature and painting in particular have been part of my existence.
After a brief administrative career interrupted by the professional developments of my spouse (Arras, Caen, Rouen, Laval, Angers Marseille), I met many renowned artists and worked in different studios.
All this allowed me to materialize, develop and enrich the need to express myself in painting.
After a figurative period, I gradually evolved towards a more informal, more free and intuitive approach... I then arrived at the unsuspected, unimaginable threshold of the joys of abstract painting.
This upsets me, surprises me and fascinates me more every day, to the point of wanting to share it with all those attracted by this painting of the intimate. The evolution towards the mystery of each is, for me, an unspeakable joy. Abstract painting is there, to show the non-visible, to help us discover man in his infinite complexity, and the universe in its infinite movement. Like dormant underground water, the painting of the elusive has slowly infiltrated the hollow of my dreams, to metamorphose into an undulating flow, then into an impetuous and leaping flow, loving freedom. This is how she offered herself in grace, shrouded in the mystery of her source.
Today, I have a “house-workshop” in Ponts de Cé and, for 20 years now, I have continued to pass on my passion to the GAT workshops in Trélazé.
My pictorial itinerary can be summed up in numerous collective exhibitions from the North to the South of France, with even a modest crossing of the ocean towards New York.
As for my personal exhibitions, they have taken me to Paris, Caen, Rouen, Toulouse, Angers and Bouchemaine etc...
In addition, I illustrated the cover of the scientific research journal "Genome Research" of July 2011.
