| About Darlyne Chauve | Darlyne Chauve was born to a family of artists with her greatest influence and her inspiration being her father, Artist Lionel Chauve. As a child, Darlyne would spend her days in her father's studio painting and creating.
As an adult, she spent time in a small town called Tourette in Provence, France studying with sculptor Fortune Evangeliste. She also attended Parsons School of Design in NYC and the International School of Art in Todi, Italy.
However, she always returned to her father studio where she would find peace and solace in the beauty of his oil paints.
After her father passed away she inherited his paint brushes and paint. In his memory, she continues to paint with oils, mixed media and textures. Today his works hang in her homes and studio in his honor.
Darlyne spends part of the year in her home in France, where she recently built her studio with Moroccan and North African influences. It is only in France that she sculpts with metal and entices different mediums.
Fall arrives, Darlyne returns to Miami where she has transformed a 7500 square foot warehouse into a loft studio allowing her the freedom to paint large 15 foot pieces. It is the fire of Miami which evokes bold strokes of color and emotion in her work.
Her work is abstract conceptual and sometimes touches on the figurative. Painting with multiple layers of oils and mixed mediums, each with it's own story and secret. It is this duality of existence that brings innate depth and dimension to her work. |
