Bellule Art

Julie Fournier, also known as Bellule, is a French painter and a graduate of the Angers School of Fine Arts. She now lives and works at the foothills of the Cévennes, in the south of France.

At the crossroads of figurative and abstract art, her work explores emotions, the dualities of life, and the deep connection between humans and nature. Portraiture holds a central place in her practice, alongside more abstract and dreamlike compositions.

Her expressive and sensory painting develops through layers of material, gesture, and transparency. Her works bring together strength and fragility, shadow and light, tension and softness, memory and renewal.

Inspired by nature, travel, and human diversity, Bellule seeks to create works that go beyond representation and become spaces of resonance, inviting the viewer to feel, contemplate, and reconnect with their inner world.

Born in 1989 from a painter mother and a musician father, Bellule has always been immersed in an artistic universe and begins to paint and draw very young.

She first studied Visual Communication at ECV Paris from 2005 to 2007, before choosing a path more directly connected to material, gesture, and artistic practice.

She then studied at the Angers School of Fine Arts from 2007 to 2011, where she received her National Diploma in Fine Arts (DNAP) in 2010, followed by her Higher Certificate in Fine Arts in 2011.

After graduating, she continued to develop her painting practice at the Arteffects studio in Le Vésinet–Le Pecq between 2011 and 2014. She also trained in printmaking.
