A passion, but also a vocation, Anne du Planty painted from an early age. Always brushes in hand and a gift already asserted for the harmony of colors.
She was introduced to the laws of perspective during her secondary studies and perfect her learning first at the Art Deco school in Belgium, then at the École des Beaux Arts in Roubaix. A training sanctioned, in the 1970s, by an interior architect diploma. But it is through his personal work that the artist will assert his approach.
Originally from the north, she discovers by traveling the southern lights, the brilliance of the sun, the shadow of the alleys. Each summer, it crisscrosses the south of France, Spain, but especially Italy, seduced by the architectural elegance of cities and villages, surveying streets and alleys, soaking up daily life between shaded squares and quays Deputy to hot hours of the day. Images taken on the spot in Venice, Florence, Naples..etc. Fill his travel diaries. Stays in Cuba, India and Southeast Asia have recently filled its travel book and gave birth to sensitive works, giving off an authentic atmosphere. So many colorful, warm and lively memories of which the artist feeds his work.
Once back to Paris, Anne du Planty gets to work in her workshop under the roofs and flooded with light. Aldo, an attentive Persian cat, keeps him company and it doesn't matter if the sky is bored, his line is sure, his colors shimmering. The pleasure reappears, intact, and she communicates it to her painting. The air torches, the colors vibrate, barcarolles dance on the lagoon, shutters close, bistros come alive.
Criticism was not mistaken. "It painted Italy superbly, bringing the sun's rays in the smallest corners of old cities. His paintings dance like colors. They bring the joy of life, a certain influence. These are optimistic works "," a unique theme but always started again. A choice of colors that gives heart to the heart ”. Anne du Planty displays a love of life that shines in her paintings.
