Born and educated in England, Michèle has also spent many years in Iran, France, Switzerland and for the last 20 years in Vienna. Colours have always held a particular fascination for Michèle, who was attracted to painting at an early age. But it was not until 1986, whilst living in Switzerland she had time to paint seriously and had her first group exhibition. Her extensive travels brought her to India, where she spent 6 months, to Brazil, Australia, Italy, North Africa and the U.S. These travels influenced her stile, feeling for colour and wide range of subjects. Observing people, getting to know them and bringing these experiences to canvas gives her full satisfaction. On her return to Austria, Michèle continued painting and developed her drawing skills and experiments with different mediums. She also had private tuition with known artists and attended courses at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Michèle has exhibited in Vienna, Ferrara, Paris, Luxembourg, Leipzig and at the art fairs of Innsbruck and Salzburg. Michèle Karbassioun is amember of the Organization of Professional
Artists of Austria. |
