ELIORA BOUSQUET'S BIOGRAPHY

Picto résumé de la page Page Summary:

A French artist born in 1970 in Angoulême and now based in Paris, I have been painting since the age of seven, driven by a passion for creation. My art transcends language, drawing inspiration from poetry (Baudelaire, Keats) and classical and jazz music.

AN ARTIST AT HEART

"This artistic life - which we know is not the truth - seems to me so vivid, that it would be ungrateful not to be satisfied with it. Your profession is to do what you are made for and exercise with such passion and intensity that it is like responding to a spiritual call."
Vincent Van Gogh

I am a french professional Fine Artist and I live in Paris. I was born in Angoulême, in 1970. I hope I'll die young... as late as possible !

As a professional artist living in Paris, I have been painting and drawing since the age of seven.

My artistic journey has always been guided by a profound passion for creation in all its forms, which has now become my raison d’être, a constant leitmotif, and my preferred mode of expression. To me, painting is a tool capable of transcending the barriers of language and touching the soul directly. It is a universal means of communication.

Curiously enough, it was poetry that sparked my love of colors and, eventually, my desire to express myself freely through drawing and painting. Writers such as Charles Baudelaire, Théodore de Banville, Alphonse de Lamartine, Victor Hugo, and later John Keats, William Blake, and other Romantic poets of the late 19th century, inspired me deeply. I was - and still am - fascinated by the symbolic power of combining words and colors, by the skillful use of metaphors, periphrases, oxymorons, and other surreal imagery in their work.

As a child, I was struck by expressions like: "to see life in pink," "to hope for blue tomorrows", "to be green with envy", "to laugh yellow", "to look gray-faced", "to leave at the blue hour', "to feel as gray as the rain",...

It is thus primarily in poetry that I find inspiration as I explore my artistic endeavors.

"Nature is a temple where living pillars
Sometimes let slip confused words;
Man walks within a forest of symbols
That observe him with familiar eyes.
Like long echoes that merge in the distance
In a shadowy and deep unity,
Vast as the night and as the clarity,
Perfumes, colors, and sounds respond to one another."
Charles Baudelaire, "Correspondences", The Flowers of Evil, 1861

Because I am romantic, nostalgic, and idealistic, these poetic associations first inspired me to write poetry.

Later, combined with music - especially classical and jazz - they nourished my imagination to the point where I became convinced that painting, which allows for the broadest possible palette of colors, is far more than just an art form: it is a language unto itself, one rooted in the musicality of things. A silent language, yes, but one that, unlike words, knows no linguistic boundaries, thus offering total freedom of expression.
