Véronique has been making art since she studied at the Beaux-Arts in Nîmes.

year of birth: 1967

birthplace: South of France

current residence: Paris (France)

Where did it all begin?

I painted for many years after and during my painting studies.

I taught painting and drawing at the École supérieure des beaux arts de Nîmes, and after graduating I was also a lecturer in contemporary art at the Carré d’art in Nîmes. Then I started working in London and Paris in interior design as a stylist, then for a number of interior design magazines and luxury brands. As a result, all my energy went to the creation of decors and images, which meant that for more than ten years I did not paint.

About ten years ago I felt the need to pick up my brushes again.

What is the worst advice you’ve heard?

I can’t remember. (laughs)

Most beautiful moment during the creative process?

The most beautiful moment is when the elements meet and a balance is created.

When the colour and the design just work.

Or when a beautiful accident happens and breaks a certain balance.

What are you proud of?

I’m proud of nothing but happy to have the freedom to have an artistic practice in line with my professional work as a stylist and set designer.

Who would you like to meet or who would you like to work with?

I love the work of designer Dries van Noten.

Favorite material?

I love beautiful paper and colours.

What would you have done, if not this?

I’ve always drawn as far back as I can remember, but I also have a passion for flowers and gardens.

When was your biggest moment of doubt?

I haven’t really had moments of doubt. I’ve always worked in creative environments, so I’ve always been able to create, even if it wasn’t painting.

Who is your biggest supporter?

My greatest support is my energy.

Where do you work?

I live and work in Paris, in Montmartre, at home in my small, empty, white flat.

With my family at the table in my living room.
