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 the 20s, 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.
