étang argenté - Silver pond (2021) Painting by Florence Hernandez

Florence Hernandez, a contemporary French artist from Lille, draws her inspiration from the landscapes of the "flat country," characterized by their horizontal expanses and gentle hues. Through her acrylic paintings and watercolors, Florence captures the essence of these landscapes, creating works that hover between reality and abstraction.

Florence's artistic versatility is evident in her adoption of various mediums and techniques, each chosen to suit the theme she wishes to explore. In her paintings, she seamlessly incorporates textile materials, threads, pebbles, sand, and mesh, layering them to evoke the earth, roots, trees, and sandy beaches. These superimposed materials create textured effects, strata, and graphics that add depth and dimension to her compositions.

In contrast, some of Florence's canvases feature smooth, delicate touches, conveying the tranquil horizontality of a calm and peaceful sea. In her series "the waves," Florence utilizes watercolor on large formats, leveraging the fluidity of this medium to unleash her gestures and create dynamic, gushing waves. The transparency achieved through layering pigments adds further depth and substance to her evocative compositions.

Florence's artistic journey has been shaped by her exploration of numerous techniques in workshops and art schools, allowing her work to continually evolve. Guided by her emotions and personal preferences, Florence's art reflects her ongoing exploration of the natural world and its myriad moods and forms.
