Christine Jacquel

Artist Statement:

I am a French artist born from a photographer family. I am a professional artist and I live in Nancy, France.
My works are figurative. I particularly like using oil paints. The colors are soft and they do not dry quickly which gives me time for thinking. Some of my very large paintings can take me months to complete. My mind is in a state of permanent need of creation.
I find my inspiration in what surrounds me, the city, the inhabitants, the monuments ... My paintings give me a feeling of peace and calm. I hope to share these emotions with you through my artistic work.
Since 2015 I sell my works worldwide.
