Secret Garden
Corinne Foucouin – Oil with knife – 100 x 81 cm – 2024
An intimate refuge where nature whispers its secrets.
In Jardin Secret , Corinne Foucouin invites us to enter a mysterious and enchanting space, a preserved place where nature reveals its poetry. Through powerful vertical strokes , the artist evokes majestic trees, their trunks draped in red, orange and brown hues, while the background diffuses a soft, almost unreal light, made of deep greens and soothing blues.
The knife technique brings a vibrant material to the work, giving the trees a striking texture, as if one could touch their rough bark. The pigments overlap, giving life to a subtle play of light and shadow, where each stroke of the knife seems to dance to the rhythm of the wind in the leaves. Far from being fixed, the composition breathes and comes to life, offering the viewer a feeling of serenity and escape.
This garden, both real and imaginary, is a metaphor for an interior space, a place where we can recharge our batteries, where we can listen to the rustling of nature and the murmurs of time. Corinne Foucouin invites us to a moment of calm and contemplation, where the soul lets itself be enveloped by the pure and intact beauty of life .
A majestic and calming work, ideal for illuminating a space and inspiring a deep connection with nature.
