NEUVIC (24), France
12 works

A professional painter for forty years, Annie CASSEZ practices oil, drawing and pastel. She has exhibited in numerous exhibitions and galleries in France, Switzerland and various African countries. For several years now she has been showing her work mainly in the major international pastel exhibitions and within the Société des Beaux-Arts du Périgord. His precise and realistic technique, his lively palette on plain, mostly black backgrounds, explore the secrets of chiaroscuro. Her favourite themes are still life, fruits and vegetables and above all the character, which she stages in informal portraits, or in complex compositions where references to Art History often slip in. She also practices botanical illustration with coloured pencils. She has been teaching these disciplines for ten years in her workshop near Périgueux and runs workshops. She also gives lectures on Art History

Annie CASSEZ studied drawing at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Calais, Art History at the University of Bordeaux, Applied Arts with Pierre Brignol at the Ecole du Levant, Portraiture at the London Atelier of Representional Art, Oil Painting at the Atelier Neo-Medici with Patrick Bétaudier, a master of Surrealism who taught her the art of glazes.

His masters taught him mastery of materials, patience and a love of a job well done.
