"Alain" Painting

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.
