Les Tours - 73x54cm
Cette artiste née à Saint Jean d’Angely
possède un sens certain de la couleur
qui lui permet de réaliser de superbes
peintures à la fois figuratives et pleines
d’émotions. Le spectateur se sent
happé par ses toiles, profitant au milieu
des paysages colorés d’un moment
d’évasion et de sérénité.
A travers ses marines, ses fleurs, ses souvenirs peints
de voyages, Gyslaine Pachet Micheneau exprime un
sentiment de bien-être, entre gaieté et lumière. Elle sublime
le réel, y apportant sa douceur, son imagination, sa joie de
vivre : « le dessin est une passion que je pratique depuis
toujours. Tout naturellement, je suis venue à la peinture,
c’est un besoin d’évasion mais c’est aussi un réel plaisir. »

Artist Profile
Gyslaine Pachet Micheneau
“Creating is a true moment of happiness, then come the moments of doubt
and questioning, because part of me is on the canvas that I just created.”

yslaine Pachet Micheneau was born in 1960 in a small

Artist Statement
My landscapes, between Realism and Impressionism
represent a nature quite real, painted outdoors during a plein
air session, or in the studio with a more technical research
from photographic material that I create myself. The art of the
landscape is for me an invitation to reflection on space and time.
In 1997 I started with watercolor, attracted by the sweetness
of tones, and then oil or acrylic which allows me to express my
vision of nature best before using other techniques. Brighter
colors which I like to use to paint the light, transparency and
reflections of the water, and create different atmospheres.
My favorite subjects are terrestrial or marine landscapes. I
also paint flowers and poppies – the color attracts me. I like to
participate in exhibitions in the street or in public places where
I can be in contact with people who like art. It is thanks to them
that I am always changing, because we share thoughts about
my painting and what it means. I explain that for me a poppy
represents sensitivity and freedom, because this flower cannot
be put in vase – it immediately fades. n
