Violaine Vieillefond is a French artist born in 1970 to an educated family whose intellectual interests were diversified. Her mother taught Comparative Literature and the History of British Art at the University, and her father was an engineer. She had been trained from her earlier years in different fields, scientific and artistic, and was soon made familiar with the Anglo-Saxon world and had a strong taste for travel.

She first graduated in science, economics and politics, while continuing to study art and art history. Trained as an engineer and as well as visual artist, she has always been fascinated by images and her experimentations carried out in the course of her studies in sciences : from then on, coloured fluids in movement, micro and macrocosmic worlds have nourished her own universe and influenced her approach as an artist, essentially in the abstract field.

Thanks to the technique she chooses as much as to the forms in her paintings in which hazard fills a large place, her work brings to light the specificity of water in movement and its aesthetic and emotional potentialities. We feel ourselves transported into a universe of forms being metamorphosed, organic and cartographic, and it leads us to questioning life itself.

She currently lives and works in Paris.

This 240 pages art book gathers more than 200 pictures and the main texts written on her work by art critics, gallerists, writers and historians during twenty years of her carreer (2000-2020).
It is the artist's first monography, and includes a foreword by Annie Dubernard Laurent, her mother, PhD in comparative Literarture and Art History. Editorial coordination by Benoit Delplanque (TIMKAT) and English version by Elizabeth Leith.
