Martine SALENDRE : pastelliste Artist

Martine Salendre - Artiste pastelliste

Since the beginning of her artistic career, Martine's choice fell upon pastel as method of expression, for the simple reason that she loves both painting and drawing. The only technique combining a perfect state of instant emotion and a touch of sensuality in great painting which, moreover offers the same aesthetic possibilities. She can handle all different topics ranging from realism to abstraction, playing with color and light.

Hungry for freedom, she does not belong to any particular group or movement.

"I follow my emotions wherever they take me therefore tracing my own path and the colors of life around me."

Born to an architect father, she quickly showed a gift for drawing and the creative arts, but officially reveals this in 1998.
As life continued, the awakening in her grew transforming emotions and as a hobby. Very soon dry pastels became her true passion and the irresistible urge to share with others.

Having been a student of various painters and sculptors in the Parisian region - Touraine,Tours - Chinon then finally in the Franche-Comté in Besançon, she is experienced in various techniques of drawing, watercolor, oil, acrylic, ink, collage and pastel.

Since then ... personal and collective exhibitions and group competitions have won Martine several awards and prizes.
Exhibits in France, Switzerland and the United States ....

Martine plans to continue crossing borders, embarking on the creation of posters, gives lectures and organizes courses.

Martine also donates her service and art to help the disabled and handicapped community, as she has done for many years.
