Océalie 18 (2022) Painting by Stéphanie Menard

A journey to the heart of oneself
Since childhood, Stéphanie Menard has always had a deep connection with nature.

From a young age, she found comfort and inspiration in the landscapes around her, instinctively feeling that the earth, the trees, and the sky were silent witnesses to the human soul. But it was only much later, after going through a cycle of deep inner healing, that this relationship transformed into a true artistic quest.

Stephanie went through a difficult time in her life where she had to face her inner demons. This tortuous path of suffering and reconciliation was an opportunity for her to reconnect with her heart, listen to the whispers of her soul, and rediscover the power of art as a path to healing.

It was during this period, marked by moments of silence and introspection, that she learned to transform her emotions into creations, to let brushes and knives dance freely on the canvas without fear, guided only by her intuition.

In 2025, after several years of introspection and personal maturation, Stéphanie returned to the art scene with a series of paintings that celebrate the healing beauty of nature. Her vibrant landscapes, often bathed in soft colors and bright light, evoke the newfound peace and healing power of the earth. Each canvas is an invitation to return to the essential, to reconnect with oneself through the contemplation of the outside.

But it is not only through landscapes that Stéphanie expresses herself. Her practice has been enriched by collages, paintings associated with handwritten texts, where each word, each sentence, seems carried by an ancient and universal wisdom. Her writings, carefully placed on her works, are powerful messages of connection to oneself, invitations to listen to the inner voice and to fully embrace one's truth. These words are like soul mates of the shapes and colors she uses, bringing a spiritual and introspective dimension to her art.

Stéphanie Menard's works resonate like a hymn to healing and authenticity. Through her creations, she reminds us that the beauty of nature and listening to our hearts are the keys to a more serene life, full of meaning and a deep connection with our own essence. She is an artist who does not just paint; she creates invisible bridges between the visible and the invisible, between the body and the soul, between man and nature.
