Armchair by Florence Lebay

"The sea: our origins, its biodiversity, its preservation, its fauna, its richness of forms and colors, a fascinating world, an inexhaustible source of inspiration. The octopus: a mysterious animal, with a surprising intelligence, attractive for some, repulsive for others, present in all the seas of the world, imposed itself to me to illustrate the theme of the sea. I wanted to make it attractive with its orange color and its big eyes, to the point of sitting in the hollow of its tentacles to invite you to contemplate the sea."

Florence Lebey was born in 1958 in Versailles, daughter of a printer who made her aware of Art, she joined the Roederer workshop and then the Camando school where she studied interior architecture. In the 1980s, she returned to her maternal origins in Tourgéville where she joined her husband, a local Calvados producer. However, the artistic fiber has not left her, in 2012 she creates with five painters "La p'tite galerie" in Honfleur where she can give free rein to her creative spirit.
