Monique Orsini was born in Quercitello (Corsica) in 1937, from teachers parents. His father spend most of his free time painting, enjoying particularly the reproduction of works from famous artists. Since her youngest age, the young girl is naturally attract by visual arts, supported by a flawless father-daughter complicity. Graduate of the Ecole Normal (Paris), she has participated to numerous artistic internships, and stayed constently informed about the cultural and artistic world, particularly about galleries and museums.
Monique Orsini’s painting is fluid, light and does not lack of anything: it is liquid as the desir, burning as the fire, warm and odorous as the summer lands. Her works are like full of love as Bengt Lindström has, in few sentences, underlined the extrem attraction: `what seduces me in Monique Orsini’s work, is this serene force which comes out of the surface. This painting is cosmic and transports us through an unknown journey to the universal language.
Quadroon, she is well aware of the Asian culture and her friends, Chu Teh Chun and Zao Wou-Ki, have attracted her toward this painting harnessing the space of the canvas, and conscious of the light by appropriating the natural elements such as the wind, the incoherence of the clouds or the running water. Besides the group exhibitions she took part into, numerous solo exhibitions, in France and abroad notably Sweden, Turkey, and in China have punctuated the artistique carrer of Monique Orsini. Chu Teh Chun got it right. He is indeed a fervent amateur of Orsini’s works, and purchased several paintings.
