Anne Retivat NOSTALGIA

Annie Retivat was born in Paris in 1946. She studied at the Ecole D´Arts Appliques  and worked as a designer and illustrator after finishing her studies. Eventually she explored painting and became completely dedicated to the medium. The subjects of solitude, time, intimacy, and space are examined in the works of Annie Retivat. Retivat captures a realm of infinity -  never ending atmospheres of earth and sky, or sea engulf her mystic and romantic feminine figures. Retivat´s paintings were first displayed at the Galerie Contemporaire Geneva, Switzerland in 1973. Since then, she has exhibited her works in prestigious galleries including Galerie Naifs et Primitifs in Paris and the International Arts Expositions in New York and Washington.
