Carolyn Biggio, 1958 | Still life painter

Born in Columbus, Ohio in 1958, Carolyn Biggio grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her formal schooling earned her a Bachelor of Sciences degree; but she later took up studies in art with Henry Hensche at the Cape School of Art. Other classes with his followers deepened her commitment, and her career path shifted to painting. Ms. Biggio's paintings are pure light and color, primarily of still life. The thick impasto paint is laid on with a palette knife to create intense masses of color; shadows are equally vibrant, creating dimension with brilliant shifts in hue and value, rather than just local color. Ms. Biggio has exhibited her work nationally, receiving numerous awards.

Edward Hopper: "More of me comes out when I improvise"

• "What I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house".

• "After all, we are not French and never can be, and any attempt to be so is to deny our inheritance and to try to impose upon ourselves a character that can be nothing but a veneer upon the surface".

Albena Vatcheva, 1967 | Fantasy painter

Albena Vatcheva is an French artist of Bulgarian origin who advances in a spectacular way.

Her painting has inherited various traditions, including that of masters of the icon.

Using different oriental sources, she has created a world of troubling fairy, which is a real fascination for the eye, as her glowing colors create magic.

Tender, loving, her characters live in a world of peace, harmony and mutual consolation.
