Céline Achour
FRANCE
Self-taught, it is at night, during her studies of Management at Dauphine, that Céline ACHOUR creates her first representations of a singular, dreamlike and surreal world. Collage is her preferred form of expression, to which she adds her drawings inspired by fashion photography.
Twenty years later, after training in interior design at the Ecole Boulle, she returned to the path of creation with the greatest of joys. This time, it was with painting. Now trained in colour, painting techniques and perspective, there is no longer any obstacle between her imagination and the canvas that will welcome the illustration of her emotions. She has been exhibiting her paintings since 2014 in numerous shows in France (Salon des Artistes Français, Salon d’Automne, Grand Prix de St Grégoire…) and abroad (Belgium, Spain and Portugal).
Several times awarded (1st Prize of the Festilval Les Papillons in Carpentras, Medal of the National Assembly and 1st Prize of Painting of the ADAC of st Germain-lès-Corbeil, Honorable Mention Certificate at the 30th Chelsea International Fine Art Competition, Tin Medal of the Academy Arts-Sciences-Lettres…) and published in Anglo-Saxon art magazines (ArtMaze, Freshpaint, Pikchur, Candyfloss), her work can be seen in different galleries in Paris.
