Claire Mesnil
Germany (Deutschland)
www.clairemesnil.info
category: Painting
technique: Oilpainting
Style: Representational
Statement:
I like to combine the traditional subjects with a new kind of approach. In combining the old and the new, I hope to transport the mind to different places through different portals. I want to create unexpected experiences and to allow the viewer to travel. In my work I love to explore the thin line between reality and fantasy, the mysterious and the obvious.
