Description
The gaze of a pelican imposes itself with striking precision.
The dry pastel reveals every detail of the plumage, from the white down to the tousled strands.
The artist works the medium with meticulousness. The line emphasizes the relief of the beak and the depth of the eye.
A soft palette combines shades of blue and pink in the background.
This gradation suggests the light of a twilight or a serene dawn.
The pastel technique allows to achieve an almost photographic finesse.
The composition focuses on the expression of the bird to capture its essence.
The whole creates a silent dialogue between the observer and the animal.
The painting plays on the contrasts between the whiteness of the feathers and the orange tones of the throat.
The work, created in 2026, testifies to rigorous observational work.

Presentation

Cécile Carrega, also known by her artist name Crga Pastel Animalier, is a French pastelist from Chesnay, near Versailles.

Passionate about the animals she has always loved to draw, she discovered dry pastel a few years ago and acquired the technique autodidactically.

Her work aims to pay the greatest possible tribute to the animal she represents by combining technique and creativity to give birth to unique works that convey a real emotion.

She has been exhibiting for several years and has accumulated experiences; exchanges with the public are one of her motivators. She was recently awarded a bronze medal during her first participation in the Salon des Artistes Français at Art Capital and has also exhibited in New York.

ARTISTIC APPROACH:
Drawing every shadow, every relief, every hair, every nuance of an animal to see it gradually come to life on paper is what animates each of my works. I love to transcribe the soul of my subject; this requires a lot of patience and observation. When I draw, time flows without me realizing it and I completely escape; it is a privileged moment between the animal and me. I work exclusively with dry pastel, mainly in the form of pencils, which allows me great precision. My encounter with dry pastel was sudden and unexpected, but it resonated as an évidence. Each new painting is a deepening of this versatile medium that allows me to express all my creativity.
