Born in Paris in 1990, Mathilde Batiste learnt the art of drawing and painting from her earliest childhood in the studio of Stanislas Bouvier, her father, himself a painter.
Over the years, she practised in the tradition of the great masters she admired and copied tirelessly, such as Rembrandt, Titian, Ingres, Hammershoï and the Wyeths.

Mathilde's artistic vocation was obvious. She completed her law degree and history of art studies in order to further her education and refine her skills.
After a professional experience in auction houses, she decided to devote herself entirely to her career as a painter.

The artist turned to portraiture at an early age, she had indeed always been fascinated by the mystery of the faces painted by Vinci, Rubens, Hogarth, Sargent, Lawrence, Manet and Degas.
In the portraits commissioned to her, she sets out to capture the uniqueness of each face and the universal dimension of its expressiveness.

The painter regularly retires to Normandy, a countryside she particularly cherishes. She has developed a taste for sketching the animals from nature and build her in a familiar animal world.
The participated at the AnimalArt show in 2019 in Paris and recieved two awards. 

Since then, she has mainly worked on private commissions and devoted herself to her artistic research through pictorial series on selected subjects that inspire her in her daily life.
