Claudine is a French painter, originally from Normandy. At the age of 14, she studied at the Beaux-Arts in Le Havre and then went on to study visual arts in Rouen.
Very dynamic, she exhibits on various occasions in France and abroad. His works are presented in public collections: at the Musée de Magog, the Musée de l’art spontané in Quebec, the Musée Daubigny in Brussels.
His work as a painter is in line with the naive and singular art movements.
His technique is a mixed media on canvas, paper or wood combining collages, Indian ink, acrylic, felt pens and coloured pencils.
We were fascinated by the intensity of Claudine’s portraits, her work with colours, the poetry and naivety that emerge from the characters touch us. We enter an imaginary world close to the dream.
Her very singular portraits remind us of the style of Chagall, the undisputed master of colour with his canvases that are both dreamlike and poetic. Strongly inspired by literature, Claudine does not hesitate to integrate texts or cut-out pages in her works.
