Valérie Dragacci - contemporary painter

Valérie Dragacci, born in 1964, is originally from Cargèse, a small Corsican village. She naturally draws her inspiration from the heart of her Greek origins. Greek blue, ocher, these colors offer this unparalleled Mediterranean luminosity that we are surprised to discover through his painting.

She won the 1st International Prize for painting and sculpture in Corsica under the patronage of Maurice Rheims in Porto-Vecchio in 1993, she had a series of exhibitions, in 2000, she won the bronze medal at the international art fair of Haute-Corse in Erbalunga.

She has been painting for over twenty years. These numerous trips to the Orient influenced her and gave her a profound desire to put bright and shimmering colors on the canvas.

Pastel, watercolor, Indian ink, oil, all techniques are good for expressing her alchemy of colors, drawn from deep within herself, which also brings out a certain sensitivity that resembles her.

Her colors, her landscapes, her beaches, her skies, and finally the clouds that she loves in the manner of Baudelaire, open to us, with infinite delicacy, paths of peace and escape.

As if, beyond the elusiveness of the current world, this true artist, in a particularly delicate semi-figurative style, invited us to follow her and to find under her aegis a certain taste of Eden in the colors of Greece and its incomparable divinities with the key to a power of appeasement and the evocation of a whole other universe of beauty.
