Delphine D. Garcia French, b. 1973

Born in 1973 in Compiègne, Delphine D. Garcia also followed there Pascal Bernard's studies at the School of Fine Arts twenty years later. At that time, she practices engraving and pastel.

 

She entered Paris School of Fine Arts in 1996, where she was particularly fascinated by the diversity of techniques being taught (fresco, mosaic...). In 1998, she was looking for a painting workshop and paradoxically found it during a summer course organized by the morphology teacher - and talented painter - Jean-François Debord, who would later become her husband.

 

Everything can become a subject of study. She seeks to render what suddenly enchants her. Reading Virginia Woolf teaches her to be on the lookout for "moments of life", which she tries to transcribe on 15.5 x 25 cm panels slipped into a thumb box.


Her taste for fresco, mosaic, stained glass, glue-bound distemper painting and printing techniques leads her to occasionally create a few larger formats.

 

She currently divides her time between Paris, the Pays de Caux and sometimes the south of England.
