Finishing this painting took me more than 2 years. It all started with a very simple poem that occurred to me after a walk in the lush wilderness stretching from Oregon to California : In those woods Everything whispers Softly For me This western green and the softness of the air reminded me somehow of the long out-of-this-world escapes recounted in medieval tales. I thought of Tristan & Yseut sheltering their clandestine romance in the deepest of the woods. And I started painting, a quiet and lonely figure, pensively staring at something hidden. And soon, there was more to the picture, a sword with a scar, covered with rust, blossoming too. To me, this could only be the dormant sword lying in between Tristan & Yseut, when King Marc ferrets out their secret love in this green lodge, and unforeseen as it may be, gives free reign to his emotional sensitivity. In this golden moment, there is is no more anger, no more jealousy, no one is deceived, there is only harmony and the resilient flowers of beauty in the tender eyes of Marc, more poet than king as of now. Therefore, this is the portrait of his gentle soul, as he retreats without troubling the lovers’ rest. * Whispering Woods was composed on iPadPro with Procreate. As in all of my digital work, my signature plays a role in the composition : A little enigmatic accent, here, two birds in a magical square holding my name displayed in the form софи (Sophie).

Biographics Also known as MâOphelie-sophiE D Schallerwright, Helvetian of Bulgarian descent, I grew up in the French part of Switzerland, not far from the city of Basel. In this artful neighborhood, my sensitive and melancholic nature led me to the discovery of the beaux arts & literature very early on, shaping clear-cut predilections for me : The vivid lines of medieval miniatures & Japanese prints, of Aubrey Beardsley & Ivan Bilibin. I soon immersed myself in illustrated fictions of my own. As I often felt in exile & estranged from others, I turned to objects of joy and fading memories. This gave me a thirst for more - more art, more melodies, more words, more landscapes. So started a long journey, still unfolding … Artist Statement I envision my work as a lyrical token materializing the common human experience & it naturally unfolds as an intuitive & sensitive expression of the psychê - roots grounded in the surreal, branching towards an everlasting quest for harmony, which bears the print of various cultural influences - long journeys from Europe to the faraway East & the Far West, & back and forth -, of old & modern love poetry, tainted memories, sweetest melancholies & Joy. And so I build a serene maze, whence simple curvilinear & elegant designs surround & cloathe enigmatic figures floating in an otherworldly timeline. My most elaborate compositions deal with personal photographic material used as tiny elements of a shattered mosaic that I piece distantly, alternately with layers of digital painting, & even gold or silver leaf, to reveal a subtle play between clear lines & sfumato, tangible fragments of life & a fantas(ma)tic symbolic repertoire that belongs to the lyrical intimacy of daydream. Something like a mystery unfolding : Stratification of emotions that I often mend with flowers for a cohesive instantané of the Soul.
