Frédérique Lavergne Biography
Biography:
From a rider father and mother stylist, I was born into a world inhabited
by horses and sketches of fashion ... Before speaking, and I drew the picture became my language.
Rider in my turn, I am in constant contact with horses since childhood and very close to the animal world.
After studying philosophy, communication and graphic design and illustration in Paris, I began as a graphic designer in a studio in Paris.
Can I practice as an independent, primarily in the equestrian field. Meanwhile I started exhibiting in France and abroad.
Painting and sculpture are quickly becoming my main activity.

My methods of work, my artistic “way”:
I begin my paintings by covering the canvas with black.
Then each time I paint the eye.
Sometimes the artwork stops there, though I have not managed to get the expression, the emotion I was looking for.
The eye is a door that opens and lets in light and makes the exchange possible.
Seek the light in the darkness, is the adventure of all my paintings,
often almost monochromatic, because I reach my goal with a minimum
resources and little repentance…
