Marie-Françoise DEPREZ
has got her 3rd degree DAFA (from the French National
Horticultural Society -SNHF). She is also a Floral Art
teacher and a national judge.
She has found a passion for photography and now takes
most of her pictures herself.
"To me, Floral Art is not only
a means of expression, but also a refuge.
The hours spent in my
workshop, surrounded with flowers, brunches and leaves, free my
imagination, and allow me to find a innermost energy; verging on
serenity.
What a joyful thing to work with empty space, lines, colours, materials
in order to create an original structure, in the hope of surprising,
pleasing, innovating, escaping and dreaming...
In order to introduce myself, I would like to use the Chinese Portrait
technique:
if
I were a thing, I would be a bubble to be able
to float,
if
I were a flower, I would be a poppy because of
its fragility and its colour,
if
I were a colour, I would be red for Love,
iI
I were a sound, I could be an outburst of
laughter,
iI
I were a texture, I would be a cloud, a
cirrus, so hard to keep in a close space.
It is very important for me to
be always looking for new ways of progressing, improving
my technique, which rouses my creativity. This imposes a
new look of nature, observing everything around us, in
the hope of finding a new idea.
I also like the tactile
relation, the touch of the material and the technical
challenge generated by some compositions. I share all
these exiting sensations with my students; precious
moments, real source of friendship and inspiration."
