Francine van Hove biography in Biographies from the artzine on artrepublic.comBased in Paris, Van Hove uses models to create intimate portraits of women. Her subjects are frequently depicted in meditative states such as 'Stretched Arm' and 'The Odalisk'. "My main theme is, without a doubt, that intimacy and peace which women know when they are alone, when they enjoy such simple pleasures as reading during breakfast, or losing themselves staring into the eyes of a cat, or just sleeping."
