Adele Renault paints realistic portraits of pigeons, people, and plants. Her subject matter may live in the gutter, or in an ivory tower. The size of her work ranges from small canvas to giant mural. Renault grew up in a musical family on a farm in the Belgian Ardennes. At age 14, she traveled abroad alone; lived in Venezuela on an exchange; then spent two years in Brighton, England. She studied and practiced visual arts, from classical oil painting to modern-day spray can graffiti. In 2010, she graduated from the Academie Royale des Beaux Arts in Brussels, with a degree in Graphic Design.
