Virginie Hucher
Painting
Lives & Works in France
French artist Virginie Hucher centers her artistic expression on vibrant acrylic and oil paintings, as well as performance and sculpture, all exploring themes connected to nature, the human body, and life itself. Hucher trained in the studios of Michel Gouéry, Bruno Lebel, and Marc Alberghina, developing a unique sensibility for abstract forms. She liberates herself through a creative process that combines dance and drawing, resembling a performance, using abstract forms to tell stories of nature.
