Magnolia forever II (2024) Painting by Linda Clerget

Linda Clerget, a contemporary French painter, was born in the vibrant city of Paris in 1985, cultivating a lifelong passion for art and nature. Her artistic journey began with training in drawing and painting at an art school in Paris, where she honed her skills and laid the foundation for her creative endeavors.

Seeking further professionalization, Linda embarked on courses led by American painters associated with the Impressionist movement, including the influential Ben Fenske, whose teachings left a profound mark on her work.

Paris, a cultural hub, played a pivotal role in Linda's artistic formation. The city's bustling streets and numerous art exhibitions, especially at her favorite museum, the Jeu de Paume, fueled her creativity. Despite the urban allure, Linda's soul gravitated towards the tranquility of nature. It was amidst the enchanting woods of the Fontainebleau forest, where her family spent holidays, that she discovered serenity, peace, and an enduring wellspring of inspiration. This connection with nature cultivated a profound appreciation for moments of discovery.

Linda's art celebrates the timeless essence of childhood, embodying tireless curiosity and the ability to marvel at the everyday. Advocating for the preservation of a child's soul and an ongoing quest for discovery and openness to the world, her neo-impressionist style modernizes the traditional approach with vibrant colors and energetic, gestural movements. Her work captures the joy and energy emanating from moments shared with the world, a celebration of la dolce vita and a harmonious connection between humanity and nature—an invitation to rediscover the essence of life.

Linda Clerget's unique and poetic works have garnered the interest of collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide. Exhibiting in London, the United States, and Paris, she continues to inspire and delight an expanding audience. Today, Linda is a professional artist based in her home studio in Thomery, a serene village in Seine-et-Marne, surrounded by the mystical Fontainebleau forest, where the whispers of trees, changing seasons, and the serenity of nature continue to shape her artistic vision.
