Daughter of a Sicilian father and a Corsican mother, Belinda Cannone is a novelist and essayist. After teaching comparative literature at the University of Caen and then at the University of Corsica-Pascal-Paoli, she published her first novel in 1990 and, since 2000, has alternated between fiction and essays in a bibliography of some thirty works. Initially focused on violence in the world and desire, her recent works explore wonder and human relationships, which she considers fundamental. In addition to her work as a writer, she regularly publishes articles and stories in the press and specialized journals.
Belinda Cannone has published Corse Sketchbook with Éditions du Pacifique.
Fabrice Moireau, born in 1962, is a graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Arts appliqués et des métiers d’Art (National School of Applied Arts and Crafts). Inspired by his many travels, he creates sketchbooks that are both cultural and ethnographic testimonials. Passionate about architecture, gardens, and nature, he uses watercolors to capture the subtlety of light and the atmosphere of streets and landscapes.
His career took shape during his studies, where he excelled in observational drawing and trained as a stand designer/set designer, before creating his first travel journals for the Chaumont-sur-Loire Garden Festival. His approach quickly attracted attention, and his sketchbooks led to commissions for Vuitton and then Éditions du Pacifique, with whom he produced more than 35 art books devoted to cities and regions around the world, from Paris to New York, Lisbon to Provence.
Contemplative, Fabrice Moireau paints in situ, sometimes sitting for hours on a simple fishing stool, capturing the light, framing and details with precision. His works have been the subject of numerous exhibitions, about one per year, and reflect a sensitive and poetic view of the world.
Fabrice Moireau is the author of the following books published by Éditions du Pacifique: Berlin Sketchbook, Bretagne Sketchbook, Paris Sketchbook, Corse Sketchbook, Florence Sketchbook, Gardens de Paris Aquarelles, Lisbonne Sketchbook, and Normandie Sketchbook.
