JULIA LAPUYADE

Please contact the artist directly, or Artist Talk for more information.

My name is Julia Lapuyade and I’m a 24-year-old French beginner artist and a science student. I’m currently based in Normandy and from Versailles.

I Started drawing at the age of 10.

I’m a self-taught artist and have taken a few basic art courses. I experimented a lot on my own to discover my own style. I travel and draw inspiration from my travels. My work is part of contemporary art.

I use the techniques of pastel (soft and oil) and charcoal. I apply soft pastel with my fingers. Then I crush the pigment to create particularly fluid gradations of color. I’m inspired by nature, especially isolated places that have a particular energy. In Normandy, certain places are special to me, and Etretat was one of them.

The cliffs give me a feeling of peace. I have chosen a cloudy and misty weather to create a contrast with the light coming from the meadow and the coast.
