Paradis perdu (84x67 cm)

-Pictures mixing Paintings +  Natural Flowers-

Carine's big originality lies in this blend with an artistic medium:   paintings (often softs pastels) with an ecological medium:  plants (any wild or " precious " flowers; leaves; boughs; small insects etc.). This mix giving a real relief scene, as fresh as a hardly composed bouquet.

The amazing feat consists of a unique and very personal technique, for a long time finalized by the artist and " every day perfected " to collect, select, treat and preserve this " green raw material ". To conceive of  an artistic subject, according to vegetables, is "to stage " these ecological elements which have to " fit " naturally with the painting. It is there, the specificity of Carine, the green wizard, that allows the preservation of flowers and foliages with brightness of colors, while  others  "classic herbariums " fade and dry in more or less long term.

That is what makes the success of Carine's pictures, differentiates her accurate and meticulous artwork, with the guarantee of a picture every time unique. Unique by the concept, the natural elements, and the composition.

Every picture framed between a glass and  rigid backing can be modern or ancient(restored by the artist or entrusted by customers in  Carine's hands); painted with  best mediums (soft pastels: Sennelier or Rembrandt); with best plants, by a treatment of preservation adapted for each one.

All styles are allowed; modern, abstract, representational, representative, impressionist, expressionist etc.... As landscape, portrait, animals, nude, still life, and obviously bouquet in all its forms...

Artist and " Green Craftswoman " as Carine prefers to be called, she has already create  more than hundred of models inspired by her imagination,her observations, or from orders (often very precise in particular for the choice of flowers).Her technical know-how in her speciality  allows to elaborate more and more complex compositions and as she said " to progress constantly " in her work which became its "brand mark", and her way to contribute to this  fundamental cause for her: the environmental protection: "  Mother Nature deserve it"!
