VALERIE HONNART
“The Art of Valerie Honnart can only be understood from the perspective of cross cultural influences combining her home country with China and Italy where she lived.From China she remains fascinated by landscapes, martial arts, life energy control through breathing. She combines the use of inks and pigments in a sophisticated process similar to the creation of an opera. Italian influences is revealed by Valerie through the sensuality of bodies in motion illuminated and irradiated by light. ” - Claude Mollard
