Marion Delhorbe was born in 1954 in Toulouse on the south-west of France. From her early years she has always been passionate for drawing and painting. Nevertheless, it was cinema she chose as her vocation. She followed cinematographic studies in Paris,got profession of a scipt-girl and then for many years has worked in this employ on TV and in movies. At the same time she has dropped painting:she has followed courses in different ateliers for ten years. She is also attracted by sculpture. She has spent two years to learn it and her artworks are constantly influenced by sculpture. For the time being she is concentrated on painting and her work have been exposed since 1993 in France as well as abroad.
She describes painting in the following way:
"Children don't paint in black and white... Even before open their eyes and have a look at this world,they can feel noises,movements,vibrations and sounds,so painting,by means of colours,is a middle to find and to reshape this magic internal initial magma.
What happiness to deal with materials,textures,colours : what happiness to organize or reorganize them in order to obtain special atmosphere, a memory, a fragment of oneself hiden or new, crystallizing the past but presuming the future and everything we could get out of it !
Find again joy and freedom of our heart's beatings even the most painful... "

Marion Delhorbe's oeuvre has also been influenced by Feng-Shui. For her it was a great spiritual revelation. She has studied it during four years and has obtained two diplomas in Occidental Feng-Shui.
Her view of painting is imprinted by this spirituality. She wants to show the beauty of the world,she intends to depict things that bring contemplation and serenity.
Marion travels a lot and in her pictures,she expresses her will to share her emotions with the rest of us.

Alain Duault ( writer,journalist and art critic ) says that her paintings are humanist :
"Marion Delhorbe's paintings are not mere paintings. They are a kind of lessons about the world and the vision of this world that can be caught if we afford to take our time to observe. But these lessons don't remind of travel writings, they resemble much more fairy tails of a modern Sheherazade talking, by means of exemplary humanist painting, about her external and internal universe at the same time..."
