3 September 2018

Come and discover the exhibition by Valérie Gouliard aka PODANE, from September 4th to 29th, 2018, in the main entrance and in the restaurant of the Chateau Clos de la Ribaudière. Dream with PODANE, she introduces her mixed media works.A delicate and colorful universe
In love with life and its little moments, Podane’s favorite subject is faces because they express feelings and tell stories. She likes to alternate techniques of expression, that’s why she has made mixed media her trademark.

A woman born as an artist
Born in Poitiers, Valérie Gouliard has always been drawing. To make her passion a true vocation, she decided, after a baccalaureate in Fine Arts, to leave for the School of Fine Arts in Toulouse. She chooses as artist name PODANE because it evokes her personal story. Its main sources of inspiration are vegetal world and women. The backgrounds of her paintings are like souvenir boxes mixing lace, old letters or fabrics. Thus, flowers and portraits blend naturally in these boxes evoking the nostalgia of the past. Always researching and experimenting with colors and materials, she never paints them the same way.

She participated in the Chemin des Ateliers in Poitiers for 4 years. It is now fifteen years since she exhibited her paintings and sculptures in big cities like Toulouse, Paris, La Rochelle or Poitiers.
