Patricia Gitenay
Patricia Gitena, a French artist with Belgian roots, weaves a silent and lyrical narrative through her paintings, capturing scenes of life that surprise with their presence. Whether depicting random places from her walks or travels, Gitena transposes these moments onto her canvases with a palette that evokes a sense of wonder. Inspired by the atmospheric solitude in the works of Edward Hopper, she infuses her art with a quiet yet powerful resonance.
While Gitena finds inspiration in various locales, her heart remains with Lyon, a city that consistently holds her preference. Regularly painting its atmospheres and challenging scenes, she delves into the essence of the city that captivates her.
Gitena's artistic journey began with precision reproductions of paintings by great masters, encompassing portraits, still lifes, and even depictions of dogs. The demand for family portrait reproductions soon followed, with Gitena displaying a fascination for intricacies like skin texture, eyelashes, hair, hands, and eyes, all meticulously rendered on canvas.
A significant chapter in Gitena's career revolves around her exploration of the theme of dogs, often working on commission with reference photos. For her, dogs embody companionship, and their eyes become a powerful means of expressing emotions that transcend words. Gitena's work on animal portraiture reflects her deep connection to capturing the essence of looks, whether from humans or animals, and translating the emotions they convey onto canvas.
Beyond her focus on animals, Gitena broadens her artistic horizons, exploring themes such as urban architecture and scenes of life in the style of her favorite painter, Edward Hopper. Her artistic repertoire, influenced by the silent eloquence of her subjects, mirrors her ability to convey a profound emotional depth through the brush strokes on canvas.
Patricia Gitena's journey as an artist embodies a harmonious blend of meticulous craftsmanship and emotional depth, creating silent yet evocative canvases that invite viewers into the nuanced worlds she brings to life.

Patricia Gitenay
la passion du regard
Dans la famille de Patricia, le talent pour la peinture se
transmet de mère en fille. C’est donc naturellement
que cette artiste talentueuse a décidé de se
consacrer à sa passion pour l’art. Amoureuse des
animaux autant que de ses pinceaux, elle a choisi
de marier ses passions pour devenir entre autres
une experte de la peinture animalière.
Portrait:
Saisir une émotion…
Patricia Gitenay a toujours été interpellée par les regards, aussi
bien humains qu’animaliers. Elle aime saisir leurs expressions
pour transmettre sur la toile les émotions qui s’en dégagent.
Si cette artiste lyonnaise peint essentiellement des animaux :
chiens, gibier, grands animaux,… elle aime également réaliser
des oeuvres sur des thèmes tels que l’architecture urbaine et des
scènes de vie façon Edward Hopper, son peintre préféré.
Comme le dit Bernard Gouttenoire : « Patricia Gitenay nous livre
un monde de lumières. Les êtres et les villes s’approprient un
espace quasiment naïf avec un pouvoir de séduction qui oscille
entre les paginations inspirées de Hopper et l’univers décalé de
Tati. Bien des raisons de s’émerveiller… »
Des animaux et des hommes:
Patricia Gitenay expose régulièrement ses toiles.
Elle travaille également sur commande et réalise d’après photos
des portraits de vos animaux. Vous pouvez aussi lui demander le
portrait de votre animal en habit choisi, un exercice que Patricia
affectionne particulièrement.
Ses huiles sur toile peintes au pinceau et/ou au couteau sont
impressionnantes de réalisme et d’amour pour ses sujets.
