Discover the world through the eyes and brush of Françoise Nunez in this book, "Drawn Watercolors." A passionate photographer and artist, Françoise has captured the essence of places as diverse as Syria, Ethiopia, Tunisia, and Andalusia, transforming her experiences into delicate and deeply personal watercolors. Born in Toulouse in 1957 and of Spanish descent, Françoise began her photographic career in 1975, training in black and white printing and assisting iconic figures in French photography. Her marriage to Bernard Plossu, another renowned photographer, and their travels enriched her work with an international dimension. This book brings together a selection of 33 small-format watercolors (10 x 15 cm) created with the meticulousness that characterizes Françoise. Each piece, whether depicting Syrian street scenes in muted shades of gray and blue, or portraits of everyday life in Ethiopia in brown hues, is a testament to her ability to capture the emotion and beauty of the cultures she encountered. Bernard Plossu, in his preface, describes these works as "true little marvels"—photographic, but also imbued with a simplicity that never falls into facile exoticism. Rigorous and demanding, Françoise has always sought to convey the pure emotion of her discoveries, far from the all-too-familiar everyday. "Drawn Watercolors" is an invitation to see the world through the subtle and sincere art of Françoise Nunez, an artist who lived to capture the moment and emotion, and who continues to inspire us beyond her absence.
