Meet Marlene Fancelli

I grew up (and I live) in the south of France, and it is at the dawn of my 30 years, after various unexpected careers in fashion, organic farming, aeronautics and the organization of weddings, that I (re)discovered drawing and painting.

Coming from a family where art takes place in different forms, I have always been passionate about creation.

I started my apprenticeship in a workshop in Aix-en-Provence - I quickly fell in love with charcoal and watercolour. Then I discovered painting, which was a revelation.

I had the chance to go and live in the Emirates, where I was able to devote myself to my passion. I participated in various cultural events and workshops, which allowed me to discover new techniques.

My inspiration comes from two main sources:

Painting, which for me is a more powerful, more intense medium, which allows me to express my emotions more deeply. When I paint, I go on an inner journey, losing all notion of time and space, trying to bring the subject to a singular and personal vision, a unique interpretation.

Mother of two little boys, I use watercolor to create their universe. Animals and nature are the themes that I approach with the greatest simplicity, mixed with soft and reassuring colors.

I let you discover my universe and I hope you like it!
