About the artist
Marie-Laure HUBERT is a French painter, born in 1973.
Marie-Laure’s painting techniques have continually evolved. In the 90’s she began to take an interest in dry pastels, reproducing major works by Picasso, Derain, Dali and others. At the turn of 2000, she began to paint more personal subjects in oils.
From 2011 to 2014, she has been deeply inspired by the colors, the smells and the everyday scenes of life of India, her new adoptive country. She recovered the passion she had to quit 15 years before to manage her work in a Parisian advertising agency and her 5 kids family. Enthralled by the beauty of a woman carrying a bundle of wood, of a sweeper or of a colorful cow’s horn, she tells in colors and material her Indian emotion.
From 2015 to 2021, she frequents the Pont des Arts daily, in Cesson-Sévigné, France, where she refines the techniques of drawing, watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastels and modeling.
Since 2022, she has immersed herself in Arab culture by discovering all the facets of her new adopted country, the great but unknown Saudi Arabia. The veiled women who only offer passers-by their magnificent eyes, too often lowered, the grandiose landscapes of the desert, the imperturbable camels, the mosques flanked by their noisy minarets are her new source of inspiration.
As a painter, she invites you to explore the possibility of a custom-made artwork.
Marie-Laure is available to work on specific projects and personalized commissions, while ensuring that the essence of her expression is preserved. Her approach aims to blend your vision with creative freedom, thus guaranteeing a unique and authentic piece.
Her Technique
Marie-Laure’s work unfolds through two fundamental mediums: oil and acrylic. She likes to build her compositions with the finesse of the brush, then add dynamism and vibrant texture with highlights using a palette knife. This dialogue between line and texture allows her to create a true interplay of reliefs on the canvas.
Her Inspiration
Marie-Laure’s passion lies in chromatic subtlety and the exploration of texture. Each work is a quest to reveal and magnify the beauty of reality – whether it be a landscape, a portrait, or an abstraction. She seeks to transcend the subject to make it vibrant and moving, thus offering a new aesthetic perspective on what surrounds us.
