Colette Segalen

The Breton roots of Colette Segalen are the origin of the depth and spirituality that emanate from her painting. It was during long stays in the forest of Brocéliande and under the influence of these mythical landscapes that she built a style that exudes this cosmogonic and timeless impression.
Totally personal style marked by the intense vibration of colors applied on prepared and crumpled Japanese paper supports.
Deeply rooted in the maternal earth, Colette Segalen's works elevate the viewer towards a brilliant and vital light.
Worked with acrylics with some oil additions, the depth effect of the canvases is accentuated by the folds of the paper support which gives an impression of matter and third dimension.
