Collection: Suzanne Larrieu

I was not born in an environment conducive to making art. It was thanks to the National Education of my time that I was made aware of culture. We visited the Museums and monuments of Paris. Gifted with great sensitivity and curiosity, I discovered a world that immediately fascinated me.
I had to work at a very young age in factories, in hospitals and then in offices. It was after moving around the age of thirty, to a village in Seine et Marne that I met artists who gave me confidence and adopted me. I was then seized by a bulimia of training: Porcelain painting, life drawing, painting, modeling and terracotta, stone carving.
Upon my return to Paris, I joined the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris in Montparnasse for more serious training for four years, as well as several artists' studios.
