This painting is inspired by a mascaron of the Pont Neuf located in Paris (France). Carved ornaments of windows, doors, arcades, fountains or bridges, mascarons are frightening masks that chase the spirit of evil or depictions of deities, elements, seasons displaying the attributes and temperament of a home. Coming from Italy, they arrive in France in the sixteenth century, and there are many in Paris, Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Nantes ... I found interesting to reinterpret by painting these forgotten jewels of the Renaissance and show that they can have their place in our modern life. This mascaron is supposed to scare the invaders, but it is actually more funny and mocking than disturbing .... On a gray background, the purple seemed to me for that well adapted to the style! Would it represent the spirit of your house? This is a unique ! The side of the painting are painted, framing is not required. The artwork is signed on the front and provided with a certificate of authenticity. THANK YOU for visiting my gallery and I really hope you will find something that will catch your attention!

Mercédès SORET is a French artist born in 1971 in the municipality of Elbeuf. She grew up in Rouen and currently lives and works near Alençon. In her works several exercises are mixed: that of oil painting on canvas and that of the reinterpretation of the main subject, which are mainly sculptures. Thanks to a digital metamorphosis and the addition of colours, she offers these wonders of the past a new existence in the world of contemporary art. She chose the quality of the oil to be able to work in transparency, make colour gradients or accentuate the contours, according to the subject that inspires her.
