Jacqueline Faubert

Art Collect - Jacqueline-Faubert

From a very young age, Jacqueline Faubert has maintained a deep and luminous connection with painting. As a teenager, she passionately explored the world of artists, techniques, and schools — a true love affair with pictorial creation that never left her, even as life led her elsewhere, toward a career in education, eventually directing a school. Now based in Cayenne, her hometown, this self-taught artist affirms more than ever her gesture, her freedom, and her love of color through intuitive and vibrant painting.

Returning to her passion at the age of 59, Jacqueline Faubert has trained diligently over the years — attending workshops with professional artists in Paris, Marseille, Avignon, and Guyana, taking private lessons, and experimenting with various techniques. She explores oil, charcoal, pastel, watercolor, and acrylic. Her journey, both demanding and sensitive, reveals a constant quest for accuracy and authenticity.

Inspired by Nicolas de Staël, Cézanne, Monet, and Willem de Kooning, she shares with them a focus on raw emotion, on color as language, and on abstraction as a reflection of the inner world. In her work, blue prevails — whether cobalt, ultramarine, or sapphire — as a chromatic breath that roots her painting in a sensory and poetic imagination.

In recent years, Jacqueline has devoted herself to a practice she calls automatic painting — a form of free, spontaneous creation akin to automatic writing. She paints without premeditation, guided by instinct, within a bubble of sensory concentration. Her emotions, her immediate environment, the light of Guyana, her memories, and her daydreams guide her hand. Each work is born in the moment, with sincerity and without artifice. Forms emerge, textures overlap, colors converse. She often says she is surprised by the result, filled with wonder like a child.

Her works, full of freshness and energy, are created on small and medium formats — on canvas or paper — where she combines brushes, spatulas, fingers, charcoal, pastel, or acrylic within a single composition. The majestic, abundant landscapes of Guyana provide her with a primary source of inspiration, which she reinvents with deeply personal poetry.

The public has not been mistaken: between 2014 and 2019, her exhibitions in Guyana multiplied, attracting the attention of collectors, companies, and private buyers. During a gallery exhibition in November 2020, more than a third of her paintings were sold. A well-deserved recognition for this sincere and free artist, whose painting reaches what truly matters — shared emotion.
