Born in Paris in 1955, Annie Puybareau showed her taste for drawing at an early age. Her family settled in Rouen (Normandy) and there, aged 20, she enrolled in the School of Fine Arts in Rouen and studied under Robert Savery (a renowned marine artist). Sensitive to nature, she works in the open air, in whatever weather is akin to the Rouen school of Postimpressionism. As a marine painter, she is filled with admiration for Boudin‚s skies and Monet‚s seas. Annie Puybareau paints the banks of the Seine, Norman beaches lively with walkers, coloured ports and chalk cliffs. Her technique is based on a good knowledge of drawing and colour balance. Her painting is achieved with bright, clear and contrasted tints and is always spine-tingling. All seems easy. Nevertheless Annie knows what to call into question. „Nothing is taken for granted. All is to be discovered. That‚s what is so fascinating.‰Painting privileged moments of life, Annie calls upon her emotions which are reflected in her work.
