Véronique Marchal is a painter and graphic designer. 
She was born in 1967 in Valence.
She has studied applied and visual arts as well as photography.
She has been living in Aquitaine since 2002.
Her work brings to the surface the feelings of childhood, the transparency of emotions, movements and desires.
Véronique uses acrylic resins and pigments on fabrics.
Transparency enhances the feeling of matter which is half erased by a sponge, then built anew.
What matters is making connections between colours.
From the very beginning one looks in vain for a hint of realism here – there is no subject, as it would lead the artist away from what she has set out to express.
Véronique says that for a long time she believed that her inspiration came from nature.
But while the feeling of peace which it brings is invaluable it is above all the inner vision, the abandonment of oneself and of the control of one’s choices that create the picture.
The feeling takes visual form in a parallel hypersensitive world where colour is both hot and frozen, where aggressiveness and tenderness are one.
In this universe the burning flame of the stripped down feature is transformed into a new shape.
It becomes a scratch, a trace, a voluptuous expression where only one’s breath links it to life.
