Anne Bachelier

Anne Bachelier (born 20 February 1949 in Louvigne du Desert, France), is a French artist and illustrator.

Biography

She was educated at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, La Seyne-Sur-Mer between 1966 and 1970. She married Claude Bachelier in 1969 and had three children.

Before returning to the "classic" work of oil painting, she worked on silk for ten years (where she began to explore the same themes as today). Among these orders she worked on the interior decoration of private Falcon aircraft for the firm Dassault.

Then having reached the maximum of what it could allow this technique, she abandoned it in 1989 and focused on oil painting.

She presented her paintings for the first time at Corenc at the Château de la Condamine.

Artistic style

Metamorphosis, transition, and evolution provide the common threads of the art of Anne Bachelier. The artist captivates her audience with compelling, highly imaginative images that are distinct, unique, inventive and immediately recognizable. Her metaphysical, dream-like fantasies evoke feelings simultaneously powerful, peaceful, and protective. This unique "other" world, untouched by time or place, reminds the viewer of the eternal dance of transformation and regeneration.
