Véronique Besançon

What do we say when we do not speak?
​
Véronique Besançon explores the theme of the meeting in her painting, a subject that has fascinated her and changed her forever. His pictorial world is populated with characters allowing their humanity to emerge and urban atmospheres revisited by a multicultural sensibility.

She has developed a palette of colors, from her own blend of pigments, combining the warm shades of the Mediterranean and the intense tones of Eastern Europe. By vibrating its vibrant tones and playing with the material Véronique Besançon engages a dialogue between forms and spaces, textures and transparencies, subjects and atmospheres. She abandons herself to a gesture that is both fast and delicate, creating a tension that characterizes the dynamism of her compositions.

It shows a meaning, a story that speaks of irrepressible strength, gentleness and humanity. This refined expression, always the result of a work in emotion, comes to search the spectator in his personal history.
