French painter Francine Van Hove and her paintings

Francine Van Hove was born in Paris in 1942, in Saint-Mande, France. Light, which for the artist is as important as the model accuracy through mapping, makes plausible subtle differences from reality. Her heroines are taking a very natural poses that, when we look at the picture, make us feel the balance point between fragility, elevation and power lurk in every woman, transforming the daily hustle and bustle in the hymn to the beauty, elegance, sensuality and serenity.



Figures of women with her paintings, she draws only really existing models, define the standards of beauty. For this ability is characteristic innate sense of style, which is also always considered necessary to artists with a predisposition to be out of time. Paintings Van Hove have the power to propose subjects need not be discussed. In her paintings there is no intermediary between emotions and perception. Subtle hints and feelings that we send her pictures, reach us unexpectedly clear. And these vibrations is pure pleasure for the viewer. "- A. Blondel quote from the preface to the catalog published in January 1984.
