Maisons dans le chaos, 2025

Peggy Cardoso  

Peggy Cardoso's painting is a sensitive painting of colors, smells, light. These are momentous moments, simply beautiful things. This young multidisciplinary artist, a graduate of Decorative Arts in Paris, reveals her temperament as a painter by successfully taming colors and themes as different as they are varied. And when colors and materials are put at the service of humor and cheerfulness, this results in paintings that exude calm and serenity. For her, a canvas should be an invitation to reverie that warms cold winter days and refreshed the heaviness of summer. It is a moment of relaxation to distract people from their anxieties with not an easy art, but a simple and admissible art. Her power is to paint emotion and to make it felt through a sum of small worlds, scenes of life, familiar animals, as light as multicolored balloons that she releases into space to give a impulse to the dreams of passers-by. Her requirement is that her painting always remains sincere, she makes no concessions to painting of convenience, working according to her sensations wherever her changing moods lead her. This is also why Peggy Cardoso's work has evolved in recent years. Seven years of struggle with fibromyalgia have introduced darker colors, deeper subjects, but always a lot of emotion, truth and naturalness into his paintings.
