CATHERINE
BONNET

Born in Le Mans in France - famous for its care racings...-  I moved to Paris to study Economy. I have been working to gain my life for 25 years, when I decided to go back to my passion for painting and art 15 years ago.

I took lessons nearby a French master to learn the different technics of painting and I did copies of the Moderns and Impressionists, such as Monet, Bonnard, Cézanne or Gauguin to understand the colors and feel the painting. Then I tried to hand back sensations by outlines, touch of colors by studying the American "abstract expressionist", such as Diebenkorn.

My material is definitely oil on board.

At 50 years old, I bought a house nearby Como, with a fantastic view on Lake Como, where I leave a huge part of the year. It became my main source of inspiration.

I try to transcript the peacefulness I found there.
