Born in Paris in 1968, Béatrice Roger-Liaudet spent her childhood in Australia, where the vast landscapes and the light of the southern hemisphere left a lasting impression on her gaze. From an early age, color became her language. She developed a visual sensitivity that has continuously nourished her practice.

Her many travels across Europe, Africa, and Asia — along with two returns to Australia — have expanded her imagination and enriched her palette.

She began her higher education at the Met de Penninghen studio in Paris, and then at the ESAG (École Supérieure d’Arts Graphiques, now Penninghen), from which she graduated in 1992. She furthered her training with a degree in Art History from the Sorbonne, adding theoretical depth and a trained eye to her practice.

For more than thirty years, she has worked exclusively with oil pastels, a medium she explores with both rigor and freedom. Her formal research, patient and intuitive, unfolds entirely within this singular material. Her works are now held in numerous private collections in France and abroad.

Her life as an artist in Paris is closely interwoven with her life as a woman — between studios, exhibitions of her artworks, and raising her children. A Sheehan’s syndrome (necrosis of the pituitary gland) profoundly disrupted her daily life, affecting her body, her energy, and her rhythm of creation. She has continued her work, sustained by creative impulses, motherhood, and the adjustments demanded by illness.

Her painting reveals a constant tension between vital force and fragility, between life and spirit, between the saturation of color and the silence of forms. Each layer of pastel, each furrow traced, carries the memory of the gesture — a dense, visceral body of work, engaged in the long span of time.
