Artist of the Day, October 9, 2026 : Muriel Charbonnier, a French emerging artist (#2653)

Muriel Charbonnier (1967) is a contemporary French emerging painter. Painting has always held a special place in her life. It all began at the age of 12 when she stumbled upon an art supply store in Villefranche-sur-Mer, in the Rhône region. The moment she bought her first tubes of oil paint, a profound passion ignited within her. From that moment on, painting became an integral part of her daily life, permeating every aspect of it.

In her early twenties, she found herself drawn to figurative art, and for the next three decades, she devoted herself to creating still lifes and meticulously reproducing the works of 17th-century Dutch painters. However, around the age of 50, a desire for abstraction emerged, bringing with it a profound sense of liberation. It was a true revelation, giving her the freedom to express herself artistically.

As a result, galleries began to embrace her unique style, offering her opportunities to showcase her work and gain recognition in various locations, including Barbizon, Roanne, Beaune, Paris, Switzerland, and Canada.

Artist of the Day, October 8, 2026 : Marco Bigliazzi, an Italian painter (#2652)

Marco Bigliazzi (1963–2023) was a distinguished Italian visual artist, animation director, and author whose multi-disciplinary career seamlessly bridged academic theory, commercial media production, and fine art. Graduating with a degree in Art History from the University of Pisa, he specialized in the History of Town Planning, focusing on the structural layouts of urban developments. This training in geometry and spatial design profoundly informed his subsequent artistic portfolio, leading him to explore the complex intersections of human construction and modern architecture.

As a painter, Bigliazzi achieved recognition for his structural exploration of industrial environments, notably through his signature series Città Di Cartone and Anatomia Urbana. His canvas works and mixed-media drawings on recycled packing paper systematically captured industrial landmarks, port facilities, and railway yards by removing human figures to emphasize pure geometric configurations and sharp shadow transitions.

Parallel to his fine art achievements, Bigliazzi established a prominent footprint in the contemporary animation industry as the co-founder of Toposodo Independent Productions. His leadership in 3D digital styling and clay-animation techniques culminated in the creation and direction of internationally acclaimed properties, most notably the children's animated series Taratabong. Throughout his career, Bigliazzi successfully balanced commercial project management with a dedicated fine art practice.
