After studying literature Patricia worked in various fields before devoting herself to painting from 1988 onwards. She is a figure in the new scene of French abstract art and is known for her unique technique in painting as well as for her artist’s books.

Photography appears in her work in 1995 and also plays an important role in the creation of her artist books. These artists’ books are made in collaboration with writers and poets, among them: Joël Bastard, Michel Bohbot, Michel Butor, Serge Gavronsky, Hubert Lucot, Tita Reut. Patricia also makes covers and illustrations for books, including Christina Mengert at Burning Deck Publishers.
Patricia Erbelding presents in February 2017 at the Umcebo Gallery the exhibition “North-South” a photographic series that brings together constructions that are abandoned or waiting for a presence. Often fragile, they mix with each other, in a way that can appear almost irrelevant. Lives with different destinies appear, without ever showing the human.
