Her origin, like
that of Matisse, is in the flatlands of North France
but her home is in the heart of the lush countryside
of France's South West. The rich red of the
poppy-flower, the striking green of abundant foliage
and the sunny yellow of a summer meadow compose
JalinePol's palette - Color has always been her
inspiration.
In 1979 while visiting Africa, she found herself
swept up in the surrounding colors. Irresistibly
drawn to the multi-colored robes and wrappings of
the African culture, she began to fabricate
single-piece dolls. She discovered batik at this
time and also began to try her hand at her first
oils. On returning to France in 1984, JalinePol
attended the Beaux-Arts where she began to work with
a palette-knife painting technique. In these early
years, the paintings of the Impressionist masters
greatly inspired her. During a period in the South
Pacific, she worked on watercolors, paintings on
silk, and pastels, all the while improving her skill
with the paintbrush and palette knife. She excelled
at the latter and began to teach this technique to
art students in group workshops in the North of
France. Today, many important private art
collections include JalinePol's paintings. Wherever
her works are exhibited- in France, in the USA and
throughout the world, from the South-Pacific to the
Middle East -they are admired and appreciated by all
for their striking originality and vibrancy.
