Bleaune is a French Oil Pastel Artist based in Portugal, working mostly with her hands.

She graduated from Art School and studied in France and in Italy. Most of what drives her work comes from how she feels. From music that hits too deep, from moments that she can't explain except through art. She discovered oil pastels during her studies and fell in love with this medium. 

Oil pastels let her be close to what she's feeling. She works with her hands, so everything is direct : the texture, the pressure, the mistakes.

What matters to her is what stays, the feeling you’re left with when you look at it.

Her Artistic research

The lifeline

This line, rooted in the pupil, is the irreducible trace, the mark left upon the world. I like to imagine that each of us carries a line, more or less thick, more or less strong, straight or curved, full or empty. 
Starting from the gaze, it builds and grows as time passes and consumes us. Marked by the experiences of time, this trace strewn across the face records the unity we form. Each of us bears a line and nourishes it. Some try to hide it under various artifices, others proudly display it, but the result is that it is an inescapable scar.
