Discover the contemporary work of Françoise VIVIER-NICOLAÿ
Born in Saint Calais in Sarthe.
After my schooling in Le Mans I continued my studies in psychology at the university. Paris. Passionate about painting, I also take drawing classes in the city of Paris.
After a few years as a psychologist in hospitals, I devoted myself completely to painting and in particular portraits to order (pastel, charcoal and red chalk).
My good Photoshop practice will also allow me to create some websites and advertising designs for various companies.
It is only for about 5 years that I have been practicing oil intensively and sharing my time between Paris and Sarthe.
Moving from portrait (very technical) to free subject was for me a kind of challenge even if I occasionally happened to practice oil painting.
The subject doesn't matter. A seemingly very banal place or object can be perceived in a sensitive and poetic way.
