Cécile Valle's painting is centered on abstract compositions, a search for balance endangered by freer, more spontaneous rhythms. She is influenced by what she reads, travels and feels.
"Giving meaning to the eye and giving it a choice of interpretation. At the bend of symbols, let the mind define. Let gesture flow freely and spontaneously within a composed, reassuring chronology. Step back and take a closer look." C.Valle
Creative process: Cécile Valle begins by creating small sketches in notebooks, which she calls "skeletons" because they form the backbone of her work. Once the composition has been selected, she prepares her canvas and sketches the structure of the composition succinctly in charcoal. Then she begins to work on her colors and materials. Cécile uses pigments extensively, as well as acrylics, inks, graphite and oils.
After studying advertising and graphic arts for 6 years, Cécile Valle set up a design studio in Toulouse and then Paris, working on projects for communications agencies and companies while continuing her pictorial research. At the same time, she teaches in media libraries, schools and cultural centers. For the past 20 years, she has devoted herself exclusively to painting, exhibiting in galleries and other exhibition venues in France and abroad.
