Marie-Pierre Desaize

Marie-Pierre was born in France where she produced her first painting artwork in 1975. She graduated with an Art History Degree with Honors at University of Lille 3, France. She is currently living between the French Riviera and "the World" where she finds inspiration for her art, teaches her techniques, and exhibits.

"Art is within Nature, we have to extract it", said Albrecht Dürer!

No program is used to compose these photos; only the artist eye and lots of chance to see and catch the invisible are necessary. All of them are representations of the reality, a testimony of discoveries made by the artist in nature. This series of Abstract Photography invites the viewer to investigate them and let himself discover inner travels they inspire.
Welcome to the country of daydreams...

ART CRITIC by Philippe BOBY de la CHAPELLE, Villefranche / Mer, France, October 1rst, 2010

"In the explosion of colored touches, Marie-Pierre signals us with bursts from mineral depths.

As my friend, the great photographer Edouard Boubat (1923-1999) once said: “The photograph is a kind of gift from nature, one of the unforeseen, it surpasses our expectations!”

There is always a revelation in the images that Marie-Pierre offers us. In her “Lyrical Extraction”, she rescues us from our normal visual habits to allow us to discover the treasure hidden in this colored nature from marine depths.

George Sand (1804-1876) said: “Art is a demonstration of which nature is the proof.” Here we are in a dazzling discovery of enlivened matter the likes of which caused Maurice Guerin (18...

Photography has become another passion, and since 1992, she has had 50 exhibitions worldwide - such as at the Fine Arts Building & the Eastern Columbia Building, Los Angeles, USA, April-May 2015. She has received international acclaim on numerous occasions from select press and TV reports; often awarded - such as with a Diploma of Honor from the City of Cusco, Peru - her artworks got an official international quotation (ArtPrice, 2014). They are also part of numerous Worldwide Public & Private Collections - such as Hyōgo Prefectural Museum of Art, Kobe, Japan.
