De Maistre Amira

Born in Port-Saïd Egypt in 1937, the painter lived in Paris from 1949 until 2004.
The artist studied at the "Conservatoire Nationale de Musique" and at the "Conservatoire Russe d'Art Dramatique of Paris".
From 1964 until 1983 the artist was a broker in modern paintings and had the time to contemplate many masterpieces, without forgetting the museums and the exhibitions which she visited regularly.
In 2004 she retired and moved to the South of France. Since then she has devoted herself to painting and discovers every day new lights, flamboyant colours, sunsets that you only find in the South of France.
Then inspiration comes from influences, multiple forms which carry her towards abstract and surrealistic painting without forgetting the figurative.
