About The Artwork
Acrylic and oil on canvas. Acrylic and oil on canvas. Inspired for the poem "Les Yeux d'Elsa" by Aragon. Louis Aragon is a poet, novelist and French journalist of the 19th. The lines of constructions correspond to my own graphic language. The lines are the words of the poem, and the portrait is visible through this text. Les Yeux d'Elsa Tes yeux sont si profonds qu'en me penchant pour boire J'ai vu tous les soleils y venir se mirer S'y jeter à mourir tous les désespérés Tes yeux sont si profonds que j'y perds la mémoire À l'ombre des oiseaux c'est l'océan troublé Puis le beau temps soudain se lève et tes yeux changent L'été taille la nue au tablier des anges Le ciel n'est jamais bleu comme il l'est sur les blés Les vents chassent en vain les chagrins de l'azur Tes yeux plus clairs que lui lorsqu'une larme y luit Tes yeux rendent jaloux le ciel d'après la pluie Le verre n'est jamais si bleu qu'à sa brisure Mère des Sept douleurs ô lumière mouillée Sept glaives ont percé le prisme des couleurs Le jour est plus poignant qui point entre les pleurs L'iris troué de noir plus bleu d'être endeuillé Tes yeux dans le malheur ouvrent la double brèche Par où se reproduit le miracle des Rois Lorsque le coeur battant ils virent tous les trois Le manteau de Marie accroché dans la crèche Une bouche suffit au mois de Mai des mots Pour toutes les chansons et pour tous les hélas Trop peu d'un firmament pour des millions d'astres Il leur fallait tes yeux et leurs secrets gémeaux L'enfant accaparé par les belles images Écarquille les siens moins démesurément Quand tu fais les grands yeux je ne sais si tu mens On dirait que l'averse ouvre des fleurs sauvages Cachent-ils des éclairs dans cette lavande où Des insectes défont leurs amours violentes Je suis pris au filet des étoiles filantes Comme un marin qui meurt en mer en plein mois d'août J'ai retiré ce radium de la pechblende Et j'ai brûlé mes doigts à ce feu défendu Ô paradis cent fois retrouvé reperdu Tes yeux sont mon Pérou ma Golconde mes Indes Il advint qu'un beau soir l'univers se brisa Sur des récifs que les naufrageurs enflammèrent Moi je voyais briller au-dessus de la mer Les yeux d'Elsa les yeux d'Elsa les yeux d'Elsa Louis Aragon

Biography Christel Delrieu Petraud is an internationally established mid-career artist who currently lives and works in Toulouse, France. Her inquisitive mind finds her inspiration mainly in fields such as science, travel and the human being. Christel has continued to develop radically new and innovative approaches to painting in which she mixes mathematical logic and “letting go” to explore her favorite fields: the composition of space, matter and time.Her work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows as well as in art fairs in Europe or USA. Her works are part ofimportant collections such as the Palestinian Museum of the United States, Connecticut. «My endless questioning about human nature and the world around us stems from aninsatiable curiosity and a utopian search for truth. I believe it is necessary to represent the immaterial. Art allows me to offer my interpretation of truth in images to see the invisible | construct the immaterial | capture time In any case : offer another point of view.» She allows us to see, through her deconstructions of the infinitely small or infinitely big, things that the human eye cannot usually see. She thus gives us access to unsuspected parallel universes, by making them palpable. She collaborates with iconic nowadays scientists and has developed ascientific and esthetic matrix language. Her work, as educational as pictorial, teaches us humility and informs us on our relationship to our environment. Reviews about artwoks by others. “Art is a universal language. It speaks to us, moves us and invokes feelings and emotions within us without ever uttering a word. Christel Petraud created her own alphabet to speak back. Her work is incredible on every level.” Fadi Elsalameen, political commentator, op-ed writer, non-resident Fellow at the Foreign Policy Institute at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and businessman, Washington DC "As in the words of the great Albert Einstein. Imagination is more important than knowledge. After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity and form. The work of Christel Pétraud matches that The greatest scientists as they are always artists as well." Newton Howard, doctor, Washington DC
