Born in 1989 into an artistic family — a painter mother and a musician father — Bellule grew up surrounded by forms, sounds, and the tactile materials of the world. From an early age, she explored painting and drawing as others might discover a familiar language. In 2007, she entered the School of Fine Arts in Angers, where she obtained her degree in 2011, before spending three years refining her skills under the guidance of a hyperrealist painter. This demanding training later led her to open her own studio and assert a singular artistic approach.
Her multiple influences reveal a profound aesthetic quest: from Edvard Munch to Francis Bacon, from Turner to Van Gogh, through the lyrical abstraction of Georges Mathieu, Soulages, and Hartung, to contemporary figures such as Jenny Saville, François Cognet, and Yan Pei-Ming. She embraces this wealth of heritage as a fertile layering: “Artistic matter is formed from the traces left in us by the works of others — like a palimpsest.”
