Cette œuvre puise son inspiration dans les rituels apaisants du quotidien, évoquant notamment ces instants de contemplation près d'une fenêtre à l’heure bleue de l’hiver, ce moment magique juste avant le crépuscule qui enveloppe le foyer. Au loin, la lumière argentée de la lune caresse doucement les champs endormis. À l'intérieur, deux lampes encadrent un généreux bouquet de mimosas, illuminant la pièce de leur éclat doré. Posé sur un vieux coffre devant la fenêtre, le bouquet exhale toute la douceur de cette soirée hivernale. Une unique rose rouge, qui se penche délicatement par dessus un soliflore en verre, comme pour humer le bouquet, apporte un contraste poétique.

J’ai d'abord recouvert la toile d'impasto à base d'acrylique, teinté avec un pigment de terre d'ombre brûlée pour lui donner plus de texture et d'épaisseur, comme pour ancrer davantage le passage du temps. Ainsi le choix de la peinture à l'huile sur cette petite surface préparée met en valeur les textures riches : la surface rugueuse des murs en pierre contraste avec la douceur du bois poli du coffre et l'éclat tamisé des abat-jour. Chaque détail, des motifs, aux couleurs chaleureuses de rouges et de blancs, des rideaux aux deux serre-livres soigneusement positionnés, sans livres, en bois d'ébène en forme d'éléphants sur le coffre, aux deux céramiques traditionnelles, raconte une histoire de confort, de rêves et d'introspection, de voyages et de solitude, la magie discrète d'une scène quotidienne.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Clotilde Maillard

France

Clotilde Maillard was born in France in 1960. Trained at the Académie Julian, where she perfected the artistic techniques of the time, with a predilection for drawing, under the direction of Roland Guillaumel, Grand Prix de Rome in sculpture, she then went to live two years in England, followed by more than a year in the United States, driven by the desire to discover new artistic perspectives and improve her English. Mother of three children, she was able to transmit to each of them her passion for art: one through social sciences and psychology, another towards architecture, and the youngest towards digital imaging. Today, she lives and works in Occitanie, in the south of France.

Deeply convinced by the richness and infinite possibilities of pictorial representation, Clotilde Maillard explores a wide variety of supports (canvas, wood, plexiglass, cardboard, paper, fabric, tapestry) and techniques (oil, tempera, acrylic, glycerol, ink, pastel, charcoal). She is interested in all artistic genres — portrait, landscape, live model, figurative abstraction, and many others. What guides her art, above all, is the reflection provoked by her environment. These reflections inspire mental images, some of which impose themselves as obvious, dictating her choices of dimensions, colors and context. Passionate, she collects photographs, family films and samples of fabrics and colors to nourish and guide her creative process.

Clotilde Maillard is a member of the Dessiner le Vivant collective, a collective of artists committed to the representation of life in movement. Each member expresses this theme through their own techniques, whether it be painting, drawing, engraving or printing on fabric, and others. Together, they have explored various themes such as tango, contemporary dance or horses. For their tango project, they observed performances given by a professional dancing couple, first in person, then via Zoom during the pandemic. This collaboration culminated in a public performance where the artists drew and filmed the couple dancing live, thus inspiring a series of works dedicated to tango.

Clotilde Maillard also takes on commissions, which gives her a gentle adrenaline rush, and remains open to any artistic proposal. You can visit her website at any time and follow her on Instagram.
