Born in 1960 in Gevrey-Chambertin, in the heart of Burgundy, Chantal Lallemand is the second of six children. Her mother, a costume designer and artist at heart, passed on to her a love of creation from an early age. In the family home, brushes, easels, gold threads, and fabrics intertwined. It was in this sensitive and creative environment that her intimate connection to art was born — a connection she would nurture quietly for many years.
Chantal’s professional life was first marked by dedication and responsibility. A nurse, then a director of institutions, she later became an executive in a major private group. But a health crisis forced her to suspend her career. This trial, far from breaking her, opened an inner path. Painting, long dormant, once again became central. She began with acrylics, then experimented using her fingers, nails, materials, and textures. Very soon, the brush gave way to the body in motion — and she found her language.
