Who is Flo de Bretagne?
Flo was born and raised in Paris. After completing two Masters degrees in business and law, Flo decided to do what she was truly passionate about: art. She took a variety of courses at the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris, including photography, engraving and painting. For five years she experimented with as many techniques as she could possibly fit into her curriculum. She then embarked on her journey as a professional artist.
"I grew up being a good student wanting to have a 'serious job.' However, once I was done with my studies, a health crisis made me realize that I could no longer put aside what I truly loved: bringing hope to other people through art. I have found that homes with bare walls can be dull and dreary, schools are often gloomy places, and hospitals can be scary for patients undergoing treatment. Through art, I hope to offer a sense of peace and joy that radiate from my colorful, uplifting paintings and murals. " - Flo
Flo is an artist who wants to build community, foster creativity, inspire happiness and meet new people to share her passion with. She is excited to travel for any project, and ships her paintings worldwide.
She offers original paintings and prints. She also paints murals (Flo has created more than 100, both in Silicon Valley and France) in the past 12 years. She can create commissioned artwork just for you. She does pet portraits. And she hosts team building activities for corporate teams (wine and painting parties, or mural activity at a local school).
"After studying business and law, I went to Art school in the 5th arrondissement, near Le Pantheon, one of the oldest parts of Paris with Rue Mouffetard, Place Monge, and Sorbonne University. It was heaven! Definitely my best years in Paris. I used to visit one or two exhibitions a week, from Le Louvre Museum, to Dubuffet Foundation, Rodin or Marmottan Museums. There was always something new and beautiful to discover. I could never stop. I was inspired with every visit through the artwork I could see as well as the architecture, the mix of old Parisian buildings (the Haussmann style) and the modern (François Mitterrand Library, Centre Georges Pompidou, Cartier Foundation, etc). In-between my visits I would rest in cafés, and sketch as I sipped a hot drink. I sketched people who sat next to me or who stood at the counter having a quick coffee. My sketches were very fast and spontaneous, as I tried to capture the atmosphere." - Flo
