Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist as they grow up.
Pablo Picasso

Entirely self-taught, Véronique Bauquel plunged into the art world in
2020 after a 22-year career as an interior designer in Luxembourg.
It was during her travels in Asia in 2007 and 2008 that the use of gold leaf
became a source of inspiration, both as a material and as a light-reflecting
reflecting light.
This reflection on light led her to create canvases based on black,
glossy or matte, structured or smooth, to make light vibrate.
She now works in Vannes, Brittany, France.

Véronique Bauquel's artistic approach and the visual experience of her collages are revealed through her work on black and the reflection of light.
Her work is based on the reflection of light on different supports and materials, such as gilded copper leaf, and the chromatic range of blacks applied to wooden cubes, cut at an angle.
Light reflections are captured using different techniques, such as the application of gilded copper leaf to concave wooden squares, or the assembly of matte and glossy black cubes, all applied either to a black aluminum panel, or to a structured wood panel.
Oxidation on the gilded copper sheets adds a bluish color that doesn't distort the metal. The viewer becomes an actor in his or her own perception of light.
