Renate Faulhaber
Visual Artist
Gestalt Therapist
I was born in Germany.
"What do you want to be? "
I could only imagine one thing: to take the artist's path.
In addition, I wanted to live in France....
After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts,
I moved to Paris for the first time.
Driven by a desire that has never left me:
meet other artistic fields and experience them together, such as those of dance, theatre and movement.
The meeting with Gestalt Therapy solicited my creative impulse in the service of life itself.
