cours d'aquarellle à la galerie d'art
An unusual place to take painting classes: an art gallery!

Are you looking to learn watercolor or try a creative and original activity in Aix-les-Bains (in Savoie, 15 minutes from Chambéry)? Why not join a watercolor workshop unlike any other, held in the warm and inspiring setting of the Concept Exit art gallery?


A unique and colorful approach


In my painting classes, there is no drowning in technical exercises or boring demonstrations. From the very first minutes, you dive straight into creation and painting. Guided step by step in very small groups of 4 to 6 people, you will create a real artwork while discovering the basics of watercolor.

Des oeuvres originales même pour les débutants!

Here, we move away from clichés about watercolor being pale or pastel. I love working with bright and fluorescent colors that bring character and energy to your creations.


When and where?

I offer two formats:


– Workshops for beginner to intermediate levels on Wednesday afternoons (3 hours), every two weeks


– One-day watercolor workshops for intermediate level on Sundays (5 hours), once a month


Beginner workshops take place every other Wednesday from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm at the Concept Exit art gallery in Aix-les-Bains, near Chambéry.


No equipment is required — I provide everything, and you will work with high-quality materials: Arches watercolor paper, fine professional paints from renowned and innovative brands, and quality brushes.

This creative break in the middle of the week is perfect for disconnecting from daily life, exploring your imagination, letting go, and leaving with a unique artwork.The workshop is open to children (from 8 years old with a mandatory accompanying adult, and from 12 years old without accompaniment).

You can attend a single session or several (a 6-session pass is available at a reduced price).

The Concept Exit art gallery is located in the heart of Aix-les-Bains, opposite the historic thermal baths, at 2 rue des Bains in Savoie (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region), in a welcoming and inspiring place where art truly comes to life. Just a few minutes from Chambéry, it is well worth the visit.


Why participate?


Whether you are a beginner or already comfortable with painting, this workshop is for you.


You will leave not only with your own artwork, but also with tips and techniques I have developed over many years as a professional artist, which you can reuse in your own creations.

artist are better than ia

At a time when artificial intelligence generates images endlessly, without soul or feeling, I choose to paint life — real life.


No need for AI when you have emotion, nature, and a unique inner vision to share.


I am a painter and passionate watercolor artist, bringing to life exotic flowers, flamboyant birds, and powerful iconic women, all born from a rich and vibrant inner world.


My artworks come from a deep connection to nature, to the poetry of shapes, to feminine strength, and to color in all its intensity.


Each painting is an invitation to feel.Each brushstroke laid in watercolor on paper is an act of love, an ode to living beauty.Every creation is a statement against digital uniformity.



No Need for AI: Dream, Decorate, Feel Emotions with Real, Living Artists!


🌺 Dream with living art 🖌 Decorate with emotion 💫 Collect authenticity.


Artificial intelligence can imitate styles, but it will never cry in front of a sunset, vibrate at the sight of a hibiscus red, or paint the silence of a gaze.

I can.


🖼 Why choose an original artwork instead of an AI-generated image ?

  • Because a hand-painted work carries the energy and intention of the artist.


  • Because a living artwork creates an emotional bond far beyond aesthetics.


  • Because collecting art means investing in the human, in sensitivity, in time.



 No need for AI: dream, decorate, and feel emotions with real, living artists.


Bring into your home artworks that vibrate, that speak to the soul, that tell a real story — mine, yours, and the story of living Nature.


 
 
 

Sorority, Strength and Watercolor: An Artwork Sold to a Swiss Collector

Detail : Watercolor on the theme of sisterhood
An Original Artwork Reflecting Powerful and Luminous Femininity

I am pleased to announce the sale of an original watercolor to a Swiss art collector. This contemporary artwork has joined a private collection dedicated to strong and sensitive female portraits.


It depicts a mixed-race island woman, beautiful, powerful, and serene. Her direct gaze, her royal posture, and a gold-leaf halo surrounding her face give her a majestic presence.


A vibrant tribute to the inner strength of women from distant lands, shaped by sun, tradition, resilience, and grace.


All around her, imaginary and luxuriant flowers unfold in a symphony of vivid colors, like an inner world in full bloom.





An artistic series about universal sisterhood

Original watercolor 60 cm x 45cm - Icon of the islands

This artwork is part of a watercolor series dedicated to sisterhood, to those invisible bonds that unite women, whatever their origin, culture, or story.


Each portrait in this collection highlights plural beauty, shared strength, and also the common fragility of women around the world.


Sisters of the world, connected by a sensitive and powerful thread, like a silent song of unity.


This series has attracted strong interest from contemporary art galleries, private collectors, as well as interior designers, architects, and luxury spaces seeking to integrate a symbolic and luminous artwork into their environment.




An engaged artistic approach between poetry and ecological awareness


My work is also inspired by the memory of plants: each painted flower symbolizes a fragment of nature that is threatened, slowly disappearing, and that we must protect.


Through watercolor, I seek to preserve this fragile memory, and to invite both wonder and awareness. Because nature and women share a delicate strength: if we do not care for them, they fade away.


Sisterhood, strength, and watercolor: an artwork sold to a Swiss collector who was deeply moved by this powerful and sensitive message.
