Collection: RICAUX Marie-Claire

Marie-Claire Ricaux's approach focuses on portraiture and the capture of fleeting emotions, where every look, smile, and gesture becomes material for poetic expression. She primarily explores dry pastel, acrylic, and oil, favoring subtle nuances and deep colors to reveal the soul of her models.

Her attention to detail and sensitivity allow her to accurately capture moments in life, transforming a simple face into an intimate and universal story. Children occupy a special place in her work, embodying innocence and spontaneity, but she also knows how to capture the intensity of emotions in adults. Her practice remains guided by freedom and intuition, each work being the result of a dialogue between the brush and emotion. She also experiments with modeling on clay, expanding her artistic language and exploring textures and volumes.

Through her paintings, Marie-Claire Ricaux invites the viewer to a contemplative immersion in a universe of gentleness and sensitivity, where poetry and light give life to each line and each color.

Marie-Claire volunteers at the Majestic Gallery and teaches modeling classes to children.
