Dans "Espérer le soleil", une œuvre de 30 x 60 cm réalisée à l'acrylique et au pastel à l'huile, l'essence de la forêt de Fontainebleau prend vie sur la toile. Cette œuvre d'art capture le moment enchanteur où la lumière du soleil filtre à travers le feuillage, jetant une lueur chaude et éthérée sur le sol de la forêt. La combinaison de l'acrylique et des pastels à l'huile permet des traits vibrants et expressifs qui insufflent de l'énergie et de la vie à la peinture.

L'inspiration pour cette œuvre est venue lors d'une séance de croquis en direct au cœur de la forêt de Fontainebleau, près du village de Barbizon, où la beauté de la nature a rencontré l'esprit créatif de l'artiste. Chaque trait de "Hoping for the Sun" reflète le lien profond de Linda Clerget avec l'environnement et sa capacité à canaliser l'essence de la forêt sur la toile.

Linda Clerget, artiste de renom installée dans le village pittoresque de Thomery, a trouvé sa vocation artistique au cours d'un parcours unique. Née en 1985 à Paris, son héritage créatif a été nourri par une famille d'artistes. Après avoir étudié dans une école d'art à Paris, elle a perfectionné ses compétences sous la direction de peintres américains du mouvement impressionniste, dont Ben Fenske.

L'art de Linda célèbre la curiosité et l'émerveillement perpétuels de l'enfance, encourageant les spectateurs à renouer avec les joies simples de la vie. Son style néo-impressionniste insuffle une nouvelle vie à l'approche impressionniste traditionnelle, en utilisant des couleurs vives et des mouvements dynamiques et gestuels qui capturent l'énergie vibrante et le bonheur de l'existence.

Le travail de Linda est une invitation à redécouvrir l'harmonie entre l'homme et la nature, à embrasser l'essence même de la vie.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Linda Clerget, a contemporary French painter, was born in the vibrant city of Paris in 1985, cultivating a lifelong passion for art and nature. Her artistic journey began with training in drawing and painting at an art school in Paris, where she honed her skills and laid the foundation for her creative endeavors.

Seeking further professionalization, Linda embarked on courses led by American painters associated with the Impressionist movement, including the influential Ben Fenske, whose teachings left a profound mark on her work.

Paris, a cultural hub, played a pivotal role in Linda's artistic formation. The city's bustling streets and numerous art exhibitions, especially at her favorite museum, the Jeu de Paume, fueled her creativity. Despite the urban allure, Linda's soul gravitated towards the tranquility of nature. It was amidst the enchanting woods of the Fontainebleau forest, where her family spent holidays, that she discovered serenity, peace, and an enduring wellspring of inspiration. This connection with nature cultivated a profound appreciation for moments of discovery.

Linda's art celebrates the timeless essence of childhood, embodying tireless curiosity and the ability to marvel at the everyday. Advocating for the preservation of a child's soul and an ongoing quest for discovery and openness to the world, her neo-impressionist style modernizes the traditional approach with vibrant colors and energetic, gestural movements. Her work captures the joy and energy emanating from moments shared with the world, a celebration of la dolce vita and a harmonious connection between humanity and nature—an invitation to rediscover the essence of life.

Linda Clerget's unique and poetic works have garnered the interest of collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide. Exhibiting in London, the United States, and Paris, she continues to inspire and delight an expanding audience. Today, Linda is a professional artist based in her home studio in Thomery, a serene village in Seine-et-Marne, surrounded by the mystical Fontainebleau forest, where the whispers of trees, changing seasons, and the serenity of nature continue to shape her artistic vision.
