Description
This pastel portrait captures the serene presence of a face turned towards the viewer. The composition focuses on a play of warm light and earthy tones. A reddish-orange shawl envelops the shoulders, bringing chromatic intensity to the center of the scene.
The pastel technique allows for soft modeling and fluid transitions. The white drape of the sleeves contrasts with the richness of ochre and brown tones in the background. A light scarf crowns the head, adorned with a small delicate pink flower.
The gaze is calm, almost contemplative. The hand rests naturally on the fabric, suggesting a pose suspended in time. The artist favors an academic approach where the precision of the line meets the suppleness of the material.
The whole exudes an atmosphere of intimacy and dignity. The light, coming from the left, sculpts the features of the face and accentuates the folds of the garment. This painting highlights a rigorous technical mastery in service of a sincere human expression. The final rendering is distinguished by the depth of the shadows and the luminosity of the white highlights.
Presentation
Born on December 14, 1952 in Meyriez, in the canton of Fribourg in Switzerland, Isabelle Waterlot showed a particular sensitivity for drawing and creation from childhood. Very early noticed by her teachers, her artistic inclinations naturally guided her towards training dedicated to the arts.
She joined the Decorative Arts of Geneva, first in preparatory class, before joining the Decorative Painting section. For three years, she passionately developed her mastery of many disciplines and techniques: painting, academic drawing, pictorial arts, mosaic, or photography.
Driven by a true thirst for learning and desiring to expand her field of expression further, she then continued her path at the Beaux-Arts of Geneva, which she joined after successfully passing an examination.
It was particularly there that she discovered a new passion: engraving, which would become the central subject of her degree. Isabelle Waterlot then explored different techniques—wood engraving and copper engraving, etching, or intaglio—and progressively perfected her artistic language under her masters.
Her family life then led her to temporarily put her personal practice on the back burner. However, she never truly distanced herself from art and gradually resumed her tools to create reproductions and private commissions.
This artistic renaissance gave birth to another desire in her: to transmit.
In 2001, she realized this ambition by creating the Académie du Gros-de-Vaud in Échallens, a school intended to share her experience, her techniques, and her passion. She taught there until 2023, then continued this transmission at the college of Poliez-le-Grand.
In parallel with teaching, Isabelle Waterlot develops her own artistic universe. Settled in Poliez-le-Grand, she draws much of her inspiration today from the landscapes and the atmosphere of the countryside surrounding her, but also from the discoveries and emotions reported from her many travels.
Her journey thus testifies to a relationship with art built over time, where academic training, technical mastery, personal experience, and transmission converge in the service of a practice deeply nourished by observation and experience.
