Sophie Chédeville

i studied scenography( and photography, academic drawing, packaging , graphic design, concept) in Paris, were I was born, and were I spend almost 38 years. But my first love was painting, so I learned "trompe l'oeil", and the art of fresco.
Mostly I work with oil, for me it is the quintessence of the painting discipline. And gosh it smell so good! and Ireally love the texture.
when I can't paint(if I travel,i I'm in exhibition) I used to write, I already wrote a book of poetries, and I just finish a novel. This is kind of sketchbook to me.
In my works, I follow the emotional human thing. I wanna translate the primordial emotions, the ones who do that humans are alive and so close to each other. I've got much more an engaged painting, that an decorative painting. And I like to follow social actuality, and take part of it with my works.
