Victoria Bordier

Each author of art is inimitable and unique.

Standing in front of the easel and mixing all his thoughts, sensations and visions, the artist turns into a wizard once using pigments and paint, according to his own secret recipe. Starting from void, he is able to create harmony and feelings on a virgin canvas.

People often ask me how do I find the subjects for my painting, and what techniques do I use?

Finding the subjects and the technical way to realize my paintings or my installations is sometimes the work of several years... And sometimes it is perfectly spontaneous.

I try to work on new surfaces or dimensions, in order to bring my ideas with my sensations in beauty and harmony.

The subjects chosen? They are nature, characters, architecture, etc. with a touch of sensitivity and mystery... Or even a projection through the figurative. But I never say no to abstract art!

I use oil paint and pigments; using brushes or spatula (knives).

The range of styles used ranges from realism to Impressionism, plus everything it is better to talk about surrealism.

I like to paint in the wheat fields with poppies, in the Champagne vineyard where I live, sometimes in the big cities. Also, I like working with models or based on my sketch...

I studied 2 years in a painting workshop and finally at the School of Fine Arts for 4 years (1978). I've received my graduation of painter artist at 16 years old, and then my high school degree at 18 years old (1980).
After finishing my 5 years studies at the Institute of Textile Engineering (1985), I worked for many years in fashion area as a stylist and technologist for clothing.
