Suzanne KNOEPFLIN

After having studied in the Academy of Arts in Toulouse, Suzanne KNOEPFLIN studies at the ENSET, Carchan, the teaching profession. She teaches during some years in secondary schools, then in the Academy of Arts in Blois, and then she is in charge of the "Atelier of the artistic society of Beaugency" during 14 years. Looking for our origins, she discovers a new way of pictorial expression, throughout her native land: the Dordogne. A land of brightness, where the beauty of pure and wild sites and the rupestrian art of animals of the Lascaux cave combine together: that's the trigger, the original inspiration for her painting. Her art takes the appearance of the rupestrian art.
