Arbre de Vie de Séraphine Louis (2019) Painting by Maryse Curinier-Rochette

This is a copy of a work by Séraphine Louis, known as de Senlis. On a green, beige and blue background unfolds a round tree with roots. Its leaves, predominantly red and blue, gradually straighten up and cover almost the entire surface of the canvas. They are adorned with long colorful touches that seem to be inspired by feathers. Small white dots enhance and animate this composition. Séraphine does not apply herself to representing a particular variety of tree, she imagines an abundant and colorful flora. Séraphine fixes her "inner reality" on the canvas, marked by her attachment to nature. Many symbols have been sought in his painting, both spiritually and psychoanalytically. It was at the request of a relative touched by this work of Séraphine and by the story of this self-taught painter embodied in the cinema by Yolande Moreau that I in turn became interested in this work. I documented myself, I looked for everything that could allow me to better understand this Tree of Life. Among other things, I had the pleasure of discovering a thesis by Marika Lemay entitled "SERAPHINE LOUIS, PAINTER. ANALYSIS OF THE SERIES OF TREES (1927-1930)". Thanks to her and to AC who led me to take an interest in this work. My copy is made in a slightly smaller format than the original, I used mixed techniques, mostly oil. On frame painted on the sides, does not require framing. This is a copy of a work by Séraphine Louis, known as Senlis. On a green, beige and blue background unfolds a round tree with roots.
