"Concentrated courtesan in red dress" (2024) Painting by Carine Berbain

Carine BERBAIN is a painter who graduated from the University of Plastic Arts in Aix en Provence. She was also a student at the Beaux-Arts workshops in Marseille where her passion for drawing living models was born, still present today in her ink on paper paintings. Lines and strokes, especially in charcoal, are the center of his work. They allow the deformation of known shapes, or to simply emphasize curves. In painting, abstraction takes up more and more space, it frees the material and the colors which sometimes reveal their strength, or simply their humility of existence in the face of the eyes which discover them. Since she was 24, Carine has lived several times in the Pacific (New Caledonia, Tahiti) and in mainland France. The orange-red color of the island's flowers is anchored in his heart, and remains quite present in his work. The Paris region has been his adopted residence for several months. Mother of three grown children, and in better health than in past years, she continues to create with abundance and joy, and is always happy to share her paintings.
