French painter Géraldine Bard, born in Geneva and based in Alsace, works primarily in oil, incorporating acrylics, gold leaf, collage, and wallpaper into her paintings. Drawing on influences from Art Deco, Fauvism, and Impressionism, she uses the alla prima technique to convey immediacy and energy in her vibrant portraits of women. Bard’s work centers on femininity, expressing its strength and vulnerability while seeking to evoke a sense of inner vitality and poetic resonance.
