ARTIST STATEMENT
Claire-Lise's paintings reflect her fascination with Color, Texture, Antiquity and Personal Symbols. Her paintings express a deep intimacy with Life, Dream, Beauty, and Mysteries. Throughout the process of painting, the Artist lets her imagination and intuition be the guide. The work develops slowly through multitude layers of colors placed one upon another, resulting in a feeling of depth and complexity.
In describing her own work, the artist states, "Every creation is a sort of intimate battle, paved with experimentation, transformation, discovery, struggle, joy, excitement and surprise. Painting is my quest, my journey, and my adventure. With each piece created, a new facet of the puzzle is revealed and my personal universe enriched". Being attracted to ancient Civilization, oriental Art and their Philosophies, the Artist's work reflects and brings those images to the surface.
