FABIENNE DELACROIX
Fabienne Delacroix is the youngest child of the master naïf painter Michel Delacroix. Born in 1972 in a family of artists, Fabienne Delacroix enjoyed a high quality of schooling following her father Michel Delacroix’s tutorial. By the age of ten, she showed her work for the first time at a gallery in Carmel, California, where it proved so popular that it sold out.
She began to paint at the age of ten, working alongside her father in his studio. Her talent was evident almost immediately. At twelve years old, her paintings were exhibited in a gallery in Carmel, California, where the work completely sold out.
In 2004, Fabienne began exhibiting on her own, and while her work can be linked stylistically to her father’s, she is very much an artist in her own right. She has a mastery of light and color that is similar to that of French Impressionists. Until recently, Fabienne was known mainly for her seascapes and pastoral landscapes, while her father was renowned for his Parisian cityscapes. However, now, Fabienne has expanded her list of subjects to include the streets of Paris. Like her father’s, Fabienne’s Paris is an older, simpler one with horse-drawn carriages filling the streets. Although she is now carrying on her father’s work, Fabienne continues to paint the French countryside, seaside, and sometimes even Boston with her signature flair. She currently lives and works in Paris, France.
