ARTISTIC LIFE Opting to study medicine, Françoise nevertheless trained in academic drawing in the studio of the painter Robert Savary, director of the Beaux-Arts de Rouen, and then with László Mindszenti, a hungarian painter and an important fi gure in abstract, symbolic and neo-fi gurative pictorial art, whose traces can be found in Françoise’s work.
Françoise met her husband at the Faculty of Medicine in Rouen. She remained in
the family home in Maromme with her younger brother and his wife until the birth
of their daughter. Then the couple became independent, pursuing their careers in
Paris and settling permanently in the region of their childhood.

« It's not my fault if drawing is generally taught with the aim of practicing art. For me, drawing is simply a means of recording observations using a language that engraves them in the mind and allows them to be used, regardless of the career one chooses »
Viollet-le-Duc

« "What advice would you give to young painters?
To draw a lot and not to think too much. »

« Color depends entirely on the material and, consequently, is less noble than drawing, which is solely a matter of the mind. »
Charles le Brun
