Annick Bouvattier, 1964 | Figurative / Fashion painter

Annick Bouvattier is born in the mid-sixties in Nevers, France.

Her father, a pediatrician and art lover, instilled a taste for painting from the earliest childhood.

Annick Bouvattier captures seemingly insignificant gestures in the everyday lives of beautiful women, trivial moments, fleeting glances, words unspoken, speechless stories.

She is a painter of silences, silences that many a beholder and collector has heard and savored.

For two years, Annick Bouvattier was trained as a stylist. Education and Career: In 1982 he graduated from the Art School, she refused the family tradition to be in the medical research but she aimed the fashion school “Berçot-Marie Rucki“.

Her works were subsequently shown in Paris and the Villa Médicis in Rome, and acclaimed by fashion designers and the trade press.

She was more drawn to stage fashion than prt-porter, however, and chose to work for filmmakers and advertising.

From her stays to Italy, she retains the taste of warm colors, sensual, profound: sunny ochres, reds deaf, the intense blues, deep greens.

In early 1990, she decided to devote himself exclusively to painting.

After two years of research in self-taught, she became a pupil of Pierre Ramel 1992-1996, a disciple of Mac'Avoy, who teach him the technique of oil on the knife, that she works gently, without thickness, with lot of transparency.

Women are the main subject of Annick Bouvattier.

Alone or together, they live in city apartments almost empty, furnished with shadows and light.

Beautiful, young, they live their femininity without false modesty, indifferent to outside views.

Big size canvases, compositions in close up, the works of Annick Bouvattier are spaces of escape where the pictorial opens dialogue with the emotional.
