"Man with red jacket (2)" Print

"Creation is an act of perpetual love. I create forms to exist through my inner life."

Catherine Clare, painter of Flemish and Norman origin, from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Aix-en-Provence. Confirmed in his studio at Paris Bastille for 7 years. She has made commissions as a textile designer for the Marmottan Monet Museum and the Lisbon Museum. Settled in the Basque country since 2005 where she realizes her first orders for private individuals and professionals of the Basque coast. Close to nature, she paints a projection of her dreamlike and poetic imagination. She declines her creations in terracotta and ceramic sculptures.

Particular sign, the color is proportionate to the form. The form changes, according to the colored subjects. The expression comes from the colored surface that the viewer captures as a whole. Light is born from the contrast of shapes and colors.

We are captivated by a promising optical effect ...

Imaginary or visionary figuration is closer to singular arts, from "outsiders" to mediumistic art.

Materiality combines indifferently lines and colors, materials or volume in rather structured ways.

The artist's investment in his work, more in the direction of intellectuality, essence, inner work, is more focused on the projective, the onirism, the poetry, the lyricism, the hallucinogenic experience.

The communication aspect via the signified is part of a symbolic narrative that is allegorical, metaphorical or analytical.
