Exhibition at the Tourism Office: Christine Simonis "Voyages en sables"

La Maison du Tourisme du Pays de Vesdre will have the immense joy of welcoming Christine Simonis for a colorful exhibition in its Art Space "Les Ploquettes". The exhibition will take place from November 14 to December 6, 2026. Attracted by the seashores since her earliest childhood, Christine Simonis began a love affair with sand around the year 2000. Wanting to keep a souvenir of her favorite beach in Les Sables d'Olonne, she took back a little sand in a small vial and that is where it all started! 26 years later, almost 10,000 sands are in the collection of this arenophile... Collecting sands is good, but turning it into an artistic activity is better! It is therefore at the workshop "La lune bleue" in Heusy that Christine begins to create paintings using natural and colored sands. Her specialty is reproducing, in sand, photos from her trips... Demonstrations of the technique will take place when the artist is present: on November 14, 21, 22, 28 and December 6, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. A selection of her sand collection will also be visible during this exhibition... Come in large numbers to discover the various sands that can be found worldwide on beaches, in deserts, quarries or rivers!
