Fleur Palau, Italian trained
painter and sculptor
lives and works in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, USA.
Palau’s mediums as a painter
include, oil and pastel. The work is figurative and
realist with an emphasis on color and light and the
study of form. The landscape series set in Italy are
strong and original in vision. The focus is on a portrayal
of the rural landscape, fast diminishing in the expansion
of the modern world.
Palau’s sculptures are a study
in relationships through a study in form. This series
of new carvings in marble reveal the tension and compromise
present in all things. The richness of form is enhanced
by the beauty and luminosity of the Statuary Marble.
Palau offers workshops in landscape
painting and stone carving during July and August
in Italy every year. The workshops take place near
her home in the hills of Northern Tuscany, where she
has lived and worked for 17 years. The courses include
on site demonstrations and visits to the quarries.
Palau's work is currently exhibited in Italy and the
USA.
