Catherine Chantilly, a multifaceted artist based in the Basque Country near Biarritz, brings a unique blend of formal training and global experience to her vibrant paintings. She is a graduate of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Bourges and holds a Master's degree in Literature and Civilization from the University of Nice. Having lived for ten years in Brazil and traveled extensively, her life experiences clearly enrich her artistic vision. Chantilly's artistic process is deeply intuitive, driven by strong visions or "apparitions" – moments of profound sensation that she feels compelled to translate onto canvas, aiming to "transcend, poeticize, magnify with a childhood heart." Her vibrant and colorful works, often featuring nature, trees of life, flowers, birds, suns, and angels, are infused with a sense of enchantment, joy, and hope. Chantilly's art is a "dream of bringing heaven down to earth," where nature acts as a symbolic "garden of the soul," allowing the "fruits of the spirit" to blossom. She depicts "trees of life" as representations of virtues like love, kindness, joy, peace, and justice, and portrays women as "angels descended from heaven to enchant the world". Her work celebrates the inherent beauty and transformative power of nature, where even flowers become metaphors for the "fruits of life" we cultivate and share.
