Corinne Foucouin's work offers a journey into nature and the imaginary.
Her first exhibition took place when she was just 17, at the Librairie des Blancs-Manteaux in Paris 4, where the Centre International de la Langue Française gave her carte blanche to present her early research into color. Two years later, in 1988, she adopted an academic approach and trained alongside painters Walter Nascimento, Dias Fehrat and Laurent Zunino. At the same time, she studied the fundamentals of drawing at Place des Vosges, with the Paris City Hall workshops, then later with Bernard Benant - photographer, Gilles Maignaud, Philippe Brunet, Solène Doually - Ecole Monet, Pilar Pradales - APSA Aulnay.
