Books by Valérie Filiou

Valérie Filiou is a French-born painter and art educator whose work spans abstract painting, mixed media, and artist books. She has taught painting and drawing at art institutions in Europe and contributed to several instructional publications on contemporary painting techniques. Her own practice centers on gestural abstraction with an emphasis on process and material response. Abstract Painting reflects her teaching approach: rigorous about fundamentals, open about outcomes, and committed to helping painters build an independent studio practice rather than replicate a specific style.
