ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This painting depicts a view from above of Crete, an island located in the Aegean Sea in Greece, which is part of the Cyclades archipelago. This mountainous island with its rocks of all variations of ocher colors, and its myriad of blues in its transparent waters, offer a true enchantment for the eyes and the senses! This landscape is directly inspired by the trip to Crete of the artist Karine d’Arlhac. Here, it is a view of the sea from the hill overlooking the village of Gouves. A view that she was able to admire and by which she was hypnotized, when she hiked to the Skotino cave, an ancient place of worship in Minoan culture. The contrast offered by the sand with its white rocks, as if pounded by the fiery rays of the sun at the zenith, is striking, and contrasts with the turquoise waters offering multiple blue and green variations.

From her early childhood, Karine d'Arlhac was made aware of all forms of fine art thanks to her family, which had a strong artistic fiber : drawing, painting, sculpture and music were regularly practiced there. His hypersensitivity, sometimes exacerbated, often inflamed, made him choose painting. Having lived in Africa and Europe for part of his childhood and adolescence, his travels forever changed his personality. They amplified her perceptions by absorbing the cultures and the incredible diversity of arts she was confronted with, as much in shapes, as in colors, and sometimes unusual media. From her wanderings, she brought back the strength of movement, the power of colours and the intensity of light. In 1984, her paternal grandmother, Gisèle, took her to see Pablo Picasso's exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. It was a real eye - opener! Karine d'Arlhac fell madly in love with Contemporary Art, which corresponds to her search for the unusual, the unexpected, the extraordinary, springing up where we least expect it. His signature "K" in the shape of a star is his course, his compass (symbol that luck and the muses of creativity accompany and inspire him in his work) is also linked to Gisèle who, passionate about ancient Egypt, explained to him that the "Ka" symbolized the soul, the vital energy, the life force, the spiritual double of a person. Just like the works of an artist who are an extension of himself...! With her particular look at our environment, she aspires to share the magic of the beauty of the world, immortalizing the essence of the diversity of our planet Earth. Today, his ambition is to make a full living from his art. So, it was only natural for her to take the plunge and successfully apply to national and international art competitions.
