Acrylic on canvas signed on the back Monique Orsini (1937). Dated on the back in 2002. Titled on the back "Herbes folles". Dimensions: 40 x 40 cm (without frame) - 58 x 58 cm (with frame) Monique Orsini was born in Quercitello in Corsica in 1937. Her parents were teachers, her father devoted his leisure time to painting, particularly enjoying reproducing works by famous artists. From her earliest childhood, the young girl was naturally drawn to the visual arts, encouraged by constant paternal complicity. As a student at the École Normale Supérieure, she participated in numerous artistic workshops and was in constant contact with art in general, galleries and museums in particular. The circumstances of her artistic life led her to meet and rub shoulders with artists such as Karel Appel, Olivier Debré, Bram Van Velde, Hartung and Pierre Soulages. Bengt Lindstrom holds a special place, as the Swedish artist strongly supported her and encouraged her to show her work. "Painting is as essential to me as breathing. It forces me to a freely consented discipline, and at the same time stimulates and balances me." https://moniqueorsini.com
