Bernadette DEFORGES

Bernadette Deforges expresses herself through oil painting, acrylics, and dry pastels, drawing on her studies at the Fine Arts schools of Valence and Orléans, complemented by a degree in Visual Arts from the Sorbonne and a certification in art therapy. She uses often vibrant, contrasting hues and boldly subverts colors, exploring the female body, femininity, the fantastical world, and double meanings. Her works, sometimes with an unreal aesthetic, invite reverie and amusement, while simultaneously evoking profound emotion in the viewer.
