Jacqueline
Poitevin
Biography:
Born in the Loire region of France, Jacqueline Poitevin grew up amidst meadows and rivers, indulging in drawing and painting on any available media.
Her artistic journey expanded upon moving to Paris, where the confines of her small studio contrasted with her burgeoning dreams of the world. Traveling through Spain, Italy, Canada, Peru, and beyond, Poitevin’s experiences enriched her art.
Teaching in Colombia and working with Afro descendant and indigenous communities profoundly influenced her, leading to a discovery of abstraction. Poitevin now paints on large canvases directly on the ground, embracing the freedom and letting go of her work to share her artistic universe with others

Statement:
“My work is a fusion of nature and human existence, emerging from spontaneous and intuitive processes. I begin with a chosen format and covering, allowing paint to settle naturally over days or weeks.
The interplay of colors is guided by my inner vibrations, resulting in a dynamic, often trance-like experience. Each painting reveals a unique narrative, reflecting my inner depths. Abstraction grants me a profound sense of freedom and harmony,
allowing me to express a personal universe where color and form interact in their own organic rhythm”.
