L’élan intérieur, 2025

Lucile Bruyère  

Painting has always been a part of my life.

In my family, in my memories, in my hands.

My mother, trained in Fine Arts, put aside her practice for a long time to devote herself to her professional life and my education. Today, she revives her artistic impulses through poetic works, made from elements of nature: bark, moss, wood… My father, on the other hand, works with stone and wood. In our home, the material has always had something sacred.

Since I was little, I've had paintbrushes between my fingers. My mother used to tell me: "It's your head that decides, not your hand." A phrase that taught me precision, concentration... and another that has left its mark on me: "Add more colors, always more colors, material, don't leave any white space!" So, with childhood instinct, I took everything I could find to bring volume and life to my canvases.

I was fascinated by the painter who lived above my grandparents. I would watch him secretly through the windows of his studio, amazed by the magic that was born beneath his gestures.

I wanted to make art my path, but life took me in a different direction. So I continued to make room for painting in my free time. I am self-taught, free, and curious. My style has developed over time, through intuition, experimentation, and a constant thirst for creativity.

Today, at almost 40, I feel it's time.

To share. To bring you into my colorful, vibrant, textured world.

But perhaps it's the other way around: I'm the one who comes into your home to awaken an emotion, to bring joy, a spark, a presence.

Each canvas is a meditation, a space of freedom, a breath.

Welcome to my world!
