Corinne Pissarro has enjoyed much success at an early age. After studying Biology in college, she found herself unemployed. When Corinne turned 24 she discovered her love and talent for painting; this was her true calling. She was accepted into the prestigious Claude Pissarro Atelier in 1998. Not only did Corinne’s talents flourish, but she soon became Claude’s closest apprentice, and not long after, the two married. Then, in order to passionately embrace the asceticism of her commitment to painting, she very quickly decided to leave France with her husband to set up on the edge of the Atlantic, in one of the wildest, most isolated and infertile regions of the far North of the Republic of Ireland. There, among this desolation, where the fury of the wind can, on certain days, strip the soil, incredibly, she decided to paint only flowers. She does not do so to distinguish herself from the seventeen other artists of the profuse Pissarro genealogy, to which she now belongs. Through this challenge, she intends instead to flee the intellectual pretence of “Contemporary Art”.
