Florence Oulhiou

Born in 1959 in France but now living and working near Maastricht and Aachen, in Netherlands.

She completed a full course at the « Ecole des Beaux-Arts » in France. She worked several years with her master Marc Fonvieille, then with Isabelle Monférier.
She uses structure and contrast to build strong compositions and these are still the key points of her work.

She recently found a new intriguing playground in AI-assisted creation.

At the heart of her artistic endeavors lies a focus on contemporary portraiture. Each piece is a testament to my commitment to understand the mystery of the human soul. She often revisites classic styles to breathe new life into timeless themes.

The result is a collection of portraits, captivating and that invite viewers to ponder the profound depths of human emotion and identity.
