Biography

Éliane Thiollier is the daughter of an architect. This former student of the École des beaux-arts de Paris attended the René Jaudon workshop in the early 1950s where she refined her pictorial technique and learned lithography: it was in fact together that from 1950 the master and the student illustrate the Poems of Frédéric de Towarnicki.

Her participation in the Salon de la Jeune Peinture in 1951, when she moved to 23, rue Vieille-du-Temple in Paris 1, made her become friends with Paul Rebeyrolle, Raymond Guerrier, Édouard Mac-Avoy, Jean-Pierre Alaux, Michel-Henry, Maurice Boitel who in 1955 invited him to his group at the Salon Comparaisons.

She will find in Provence the characteristic colors of her palette, made of red and ocher. She works in the light of ""the Camargue, with its harsh light, its guardians and its cavalcades" 2, in Mexico, from Morocco to India, from Kenya to Thailand, but also in the southwest of France. She creates solar works, very structured, which make vibrate her “landscapes with fine and strong nuances” 3. She will choose to settle in Tourtrès to work.

Claiming to “live with the independence that suits an artist” 4, also a designer of tapestries 5, Éliane Thiollier worked for the recognition of figurative painting. She was appointed general secretary of the Jeune Peinture from 1957 to 1964, resigning because of her disagreement with the political commitment of Salon 6. She is also a member of the management committee of the Union des artsastiques, secretary general of the Salon du dessin et de la peinture à l'eau, member of the board of the Salon d'Automne, in 1987.

She died in a traffic accident on Aug 29, 1989 in Lot-et-Garonne.
