Béatrice Bescond was born in 1956 in Brest, in Brittany, in the west of France. She graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris in 1985 and from Paris VIII University (with a Masters in Theory and practice in contemporary art). Her work could be said at first to be figurative as it reveals a dream world where angels and mythological figures mingle. However the Béatrice’s interests lie on finding inspiring sources in the History of painting, in an archetypal memorial fund, it is to question and to topicalize them in original and enigmatic ways. The exceptional presence of Beatrice Bescond’s painting is also due to the use of color, paradoxically both fugitive and intense. Thanks to optical synthesis, each stroke or color sign participates in a whole to give out suffused light. The resulting psycho-phenomenological perceptual experience the viewer has is thus unique.
