BIOGRAPHY
From 1974 to 1978, Thérèse works in a famous law firm and EDF in Perpignan, until the day when it
presents its candidature for the Independent one, written Journal of the Catalan area and the Aude and
will work until 1998 with Photocomposition. It will meet there George Barre who will strongly encourage
it, like many his colleagues, in particular Marie-Louise Douchy, to expose her works.She will faira
besides, until 1998, of many graphic drawings on Machintosch with Independent, while waiting for the
fence of the “Une” between some Headlines and Announcementes of death. Rene Gadave, one of the
heads of department, tolerates that it makes at the end service of the drawing on Mac, but was this at
the point to allow him to draw up his rest! It is far from probable. With admiration, he will say to him:
“Vous do not be there to draw, Thérèse, see!!
This activity in the exerted press the night, will leave him all its free days. While being occupied of
his/her children, it will be able to make painting. However, since 1980, it does not make an exposure.
It will marry into 199, Aldo Ballestra, of Italian origin, with which it will go on many journeys in the East,
(Germany, Hungary, Austria), then Italy, it will also discover Syracuse in Sicily, voyage very enriching
by the Valley by the Greek Temples and in particular by the landscapes and the luminous colors by this
marvellous island by the Mediterranean. Spain, forms also part of its voyages.
Following the insistence of Mr. Barre, Thérèse will expose in 1980 to the Arago Gallery of the Town
hall in Perpignan. Mr Bailly, of the Cultural Affairs of Perpignan, will reserve the Gallery for March to
him.
Mrs. Josette Soler-Trauttman, friend of the artist and corresponding of the “Journal Croix” us will say:
“... she will draw and make fabrics in her moments oeisures and she will hide them a long time to us...
”.
Other exposures followed. Some criticize, in particular at the time of an exposure to the Tourist office
of Céret, will say: “... The influence of famous Douanier Rousseau there is detected.
To its collection of fabrics, come to be added ceramics, “Cendrillon, the “Petit Poucet”, the “Petit
Rouge” Hood;, small sculptures, and in particular of paintings on porcelain. It brushes also portraits
which linear marking down very sure and very stripped.
The talent and the sensitivity are translated through its very coloured works, full with freshness and
truth. Its pallet takes as a starting point all the luminous colors of the Mediterranean.
If the young person Thérèse Massot always showed an unquestionable gift for the drawing, it is much
later, in the years 1998, whereas it ceases any occupation, that its talent takes all its dimension, like if
her spirit, finally released of any stress, really opened with the light. Its works speak about themselves,
its fabrics say and make us live his happiness to paint, one cannot see his sculptures without
imagining its hands delicately posed on them. In short, it is happy and its works say it, sing it, shout it.
For it finally, the sun rose, the veil tore, for our greater pleasure.
