Fran\u00e7oise de Felice, with Italian ancestry from her father and French from her mother, was born in Paris where she spent her first 20 years. As a child, she was introduced to graphic art by her grandmother, who attended an advertising workshop during the Chat Noir era, adjacent to Fernand L\u00e9ger’s studio. Alongside her studies at the Sorbonne, she attended the Beaux Arts as a free auditor. Fran\u00e7oise’s first artistic approach was inevitably Impressionism, which she explored in all its forms until 1982.<\/p>\n
She needed to build her own personality, abandon conventional paths, and create her signature. Influenced by the splendors of Sicilian Baroque and the island’s light, she began to play with almost liquid blends and fine but precise lines. Her style, born from chance and intention, became deeply personal. She turns her painting into an introspective narrative, a form of self-analysis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":619,"featured_media":8604,"template":"","taxo_year_participe":[19],"class_list":["post-8603","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
