About this artwork

A nude in a position of withdrawal is seated and leaning on a night light (a sofa with a single armrest in use in the 18th century) surrounded by plant scrolls partitioning the space of the canvas, each of the parts thus delimited being treated with contrasting textures: impasto whites / smooth whites.
A self-portrait, painted from a photograph, which reveals femininity without offering it, a way of questioning myself or of re-appropriating a battered… self-esteem.
Dreamlike writing of a pose in meditation, of a dreamer reserved in the silence of her thoughts.
In the plastic economy I join the spirit of Japanese prints.

“[…] The eternal feline, the woman of a thousand lines, of a thousand seductions, the woman of selfish love, flower of all intoxications, stem of all vices, source of all evils, soul of all profane joys.”
UZANNE

Chris-Alys is a multidisciplinary artist, working in painting, drawing, and textile design. Favoring oil painting, her style is figurative, sometimes decorative, combining rigor and freedom. Using a varied color palette, the artist conjures up a poetic universe from which voluptuousness, delicacy, love, and gentleness emerge with discretion. Through the sensuality of her works, she expresses both the delicate power of emotions and the elegance and strength of natural forms. Her work embodies a deep connection with nature, revealing the aesthetics of ephemeral beauties. The designer seeks balance in form, harmony in hues, and sincerity in line. She develops her intuitions on the promise of an ideal of Beauty. The true goal of her work is to convey a feeling of plenitude.
