PRESENTATION
I was born in Toulouse, a city in the southwest of France, 61 years ago. From the age of 3 or 5, I wanted to become an artist, ... write, sculpt, paint, act, sing, play the piano, the guitar and be on stage... I did not come from a family of artists and I became a civil servant, a doctor of law and a graduate in psychoanalysis. I have lived and worked in Paris since 1993. My dream has never left me and since my cancer in 2008, I have made sure to devote as much time as possible to art: not only painting, sculpture, photography, video, but also singing lessons, theater lessons, playing the piano or guitar, composing in improvisation and writing. This desire was reinforced in 2015 after an inflammation of the spinal cord (caused by extreme professional harassment) and the first desire: to be a sculptor.
Since I was 12, psychoanalysis has also been essential to my being (even if I only started analytical therapy at the age of 34 in Paris), just like the sport that I practice (I practiced) with passion. I think I will become a psychoanalyst.
I hope to have many artistic achievements before I die, and to love, of course.
I cannot envisage my life as an artist in my last part of life as a young woman, I would have done it.

My work as an artist:
Paintings and sculptures - I works in a composite way with a strong axis which is essentially: either watercolor, or natural pigments, or charcoal and Indian ink, or pastels. Each serving or being able to serve in turn as support for the others, which would then be strong axes. I work on canvas and also develop a work on artisanal paper that cannot fail, the line is unique and fast as well as instantaneous.
The themes are mainly: nature and animals, theatrical performances and great texts and poems, bodies, my region and differences, Paris, the island of Ré, the Basque country, the Catalan country ..... the illustrations of my tale, feminine metamorphoses and genius.

Spirituality is present both in my painting under the angles of description and representation that I choose, and in my sculpture by the use of smooth raw clay like a creation of a pigmented Golem and related.... Now, I work with incense in liquid form in coloring and finishing.

Creation is the global and central question of my work. Creation and its source; and I sign with my paternal name but also with my mother's maiden name.

I go to the source, including the unconscious, and Belza meaning black or dark in Basque, I also work with black.
This black is not that of Pierre Soulages. The black Belza gropes in the shadows an impossible figurative and yet existing behind absorbed objects rendered differently in the light by the final work, as if coming out of a black hole.

My latest research consists of avoiding petroleum-based products and any plastic resin and of spiritualizing my works by using liquid incense and colored incense as well as raw natural pigments.
I invite you to visit my page valerie Fontanier Belza arts on Facebook (and YouTube) to watch the photos, videos, Making etc VFB.

Writings: My writing expresses who I am, a hyper sensitive high potential who has composed her whole life with 98% of her entourage. What this means would take too long to express but is expressed in my artistic achievements by my feminine specificity.

I go outside the box by nature and the manuscripts proposed to be published show it.

AND WHAT ELSE?
I am convalescing, I have been on sick leave since June 3, 2020 following a double fracture (and complications afterwards and new pathologies) and I have been recognized on long-term leave since only February 2, 2023 for three years starting on May 18, 2020 (!) ; and since June 1, 2023 I am extended for a year of extension then another year but for the moment at half pay (1300 euros per month which does not constitute half pay for an A executive at the last level and does not allow me to live and have my care when the legal and medical causes presented require the payment of full pay).
I am coming out all the more tested from this long fight which is not over (I had Covid and I was vaccinated against COVID) that I am still not fully paid for a suspension of 22 months of salary and I am seeking compensation in court. In particular, I lost part of my hearing in January 2022 in one night due to this stress (hydrops). I do not know the terms of the disability pension that is being offered to me.  
OBJECTIVES
- Obtain from the State an early retirement at full rate at the functional grade (ENA civil administrator) due to harassment and DGFiP reprisals and obtain recognition of moral harassment and reprisals and compensation allowing me to make a new property purchase (artist's studio) after cancer, myelitis, sound shock, Covid, a double fracture (...) this recognition was given by the investigating chamber of the Paris Court of Appeal in May 2024 but I had to contact the Attorney General because the harassers would not be liable to be prosecuted due to the statute of limitations -
- My possibilities for lucrative activities outside of work stoppage are limited except for art and the authorization of activities by my doctors: Lecturer in faculty,
Business school...

- Above all, artistic activities are free: publishing contract, illustration, exhibition, set, filming, singing, comedy

- Being able to remobilize my body without its current limits and progress is daily
Not experiencing a recurrence of cancer

VALERIE FONTANIER BELZA VFB exposes herself like the high-pitched pineapple

Is feminine creation more than naturalist because its possibilities of representation and its desire to represent transcend gender?

I love all the female artists who know or pretend to ignore that their line, their creation, are linked to their bodies while affirming it above all: Louise Bourgeois, Niki Saint Phalle, Camille Claudel, Suzanne Valandon, ...

I also like Chagall, Giacometti, Matisse, Bernard Buffet and Jean Cocteau and Picasso who would naturally be universally human.

The actor Fabrice Luchini, and his work on stage, is a great inspiration for my work and I consider that some of my works are his, gifts from the artist, his private collection.

My sculptures are the work of raw clay which confronts in an ontological way the limits of human creation. Clay, as expressed in the spiritual myth of golems, represents the divine creation of man. What other medium for a human creation of genius, the divine, etc.?

The decision is taken that human breath cannot be extinguished by the fire that freezes it. The breath dries the clay and my hand binds it with bas-relief substances or varnishes, sprays and pigments. Above all, water-based and natural products are favored, no violent products, no plastic resin, no white spirit, water is preferred with charcoal, Indian ink, pastel, pigments and acrylic or oil paint (to emphasize sometimes).

My objective is to improve these binders towards a completely natural solution which integrates with the clay to consolidate it without modifying it. This year I am coming to the use of algae and incense resin.

Each representation, each creation, each “Golem” is treated differently with work in imbalance and ruptures. Gold leaf is sometimes present. And lead becomes gold, through the interpretation of its nature, which nevertheless does not change. The alchemist sings with his voice, with his hands, with his mind, the author laughs: “A king sang below, a God died above” (Booz Victor Hugo)

Belza means “black” gold “dark” in Basque, and I also work with black as a source to reach at the same time the source of the fountain maker. It is a black “pleonasmic” Belza, a center of the pleonasmic world in reference to Dali.

It is painting or sculpture or dimensional painting.

This black is not that of Pierre Soulages.

"The black Belza " gives shape in the shadows to an impossible figurative yet existing behind objects absorbed then brought to light by the final work in another form as if emerging from a black hole.
