Francine Van Hove

Biography of Francine Van Hove

Francine VAN HOVE was born in Paris in 1942. From an early age, she was destined for drawing and painting.

Her talent, the sensitivity of her gaze, and her hard work are recognized by both professionals and collectors from her first solo exhibition in 1971.

Since then, her work has traveled the world from one continent to another. From Europe to Japan, this artist, who only paints from live models, has become the reference for a painting full of beauty and sensuality.

Between pencil lead and white pencil, between shadow and light, between the skin and its soft curves, the expressive hands and the untamed strands of hair cascading on a pillow, Francine Van Hove has been sailing for thirty years according to her desires and her talent, much to our delight.
