Artist Profile
Born: 1973
Hometown: Toulouse
Based in: Castres
Finding balance, harmony and unity in shapes and colors is Cécile Valle's challenge when she creates her paintings. She starts by thinking about the compositions and she makes small sketches that she call "skeletons" because it is the backbone of her work.
Giving sense to a glance and let it chose the interpretation. Through symbols, let minds define. Let gestures be free and spontaneous in a composed and reassuring chronology. Take a step backwards to look closer.
Cécile Valle is a professional painter graduated from an advertising communication school and a graphic art school for four years. She also studied six years in the Toulouse studio of the famous french calligrapher Kitty Sabatier.
After her studies Cécile Valle created a graphic design studio in Toulouse and Paris and realized projects for communication agencies and large companies while pursuing her pictorial research. At the same time, she gives courses to adults and children in media libraries, schools or cultural centres. In 2004, Cécile decided to devote herself exclusively to painting, becoming aware of her need to paint. Her work is present in many private collections in France and abroad.
