I imagine myself having in the garden on a beautiful afternoon whit friends. A feeling of gratitude emanates from this magnificent artwork. The soft colors without being bland, the rich textures transport us in a universe of beauty.
Her dynamism and determination are the driving force behind her experiments. She is interested in several techniques until she composes her style to express her values of meaning, aesthetics, and her own vision of the world. Her inspiration is revealed in her freedom of expression and to achieve this she declines her practice in a few series ‘Energy, Emotion, Perception, and Cocooning.’ Her energetic and sensory gestures touch the depth of feelings.

Contemporary painter, Mariclair exposes a dialogue stemming from lyrical abstraction, one of the major foundations of her current practice. Inspired by the automatism, unconscious and abstract expressionism trends, her vibrant, moving, and poetic artworks, project us into a universe where delicacy meets the imperceptible.
“I am a self-taught artist whose unconventional training is acquired over the years through encounters, experiences, travels, readings, and class with great masters.”
“Each of my paintings has its own story which is expressed however by the unsaid and an infinity of nuances all in roundness with softness and poetry.”
The scriptural elements appear and describe an almost legible abstraction of conventional writing. An ascetic writing that carries the rhythm and tempo like a metronome of pure emotions, where the viewer is automatically plunged into a world full of fantasy, adventure, and rhythmic sensations.

It happens to be disconnected from reality or you let yourself go to dream, nothing is impossible everything is allowed, This painting was created in this spirit of freedom.
A state of being in suspension, free from the interference and constraints of daily life, from which spouts out her “pictorial synchronicities.” An initial and introductory gesture, such as a dance expressing a movement fluidity leading to a cohesive whole, strong but of an almost inexplicable, but tangible delicacy.

This painting is part of a brand new series "IKEBANA". Ikebana is a Japanese floral art that dates back to the introduction of Buddhism in Japan. The Zen that emerges from the contemplation of these arrangements inspires me. My research is not on the representation of these floral arrangements but on the feelings that emerge from them, peace, strenght, resilience, nobility, introspection, fragility, beauty and all these emotions that we must face to remain standing in this world in turmoil.
The sensitivity emanating from her work evolves into an unconscious truth, an experience that carries hope, strength, expression of life but also freedom. Each work invites you for a unique moment, to immerse yourself in your own history.

Denis Jacques Grand Master of Fine Arts, Founder and Director of the Academy of Fine Arts of Quebec and Honorary Member of the Institute of Figurative Arts of Quebec said, “You paint good abstracts, which is very rare. Many, under the pretext of abstraction, do nothing but daub. A good painting, whether figurative or abstract, must be able to meet the same criteria of analysis, balanced and dynamic composition, flexible and controlled drawing, nuanced values, and well-tuned colors. Originality, diversity, and sincerity of feeling.”

“Nature inspires you and with good reason. She is our only master. It produces itself superb abstracts. Everything in nature is beautiful. Only the work of man is often of questionable taste when he forgets that he is part of it. Nature teaches us above all that great beauty is to be found in fine nuances. I have been pondering these thoughts on abstract art for a long time, your work has given me the opportunity to finally write them.”

Private collection, This painting was custom made for a couple of lovers who will get married in a few months. The inspiration for the painting was the love that unites them and the exoticism of their travels around the world. Their only request was "lots of red". They were thrilled with the result and I was pleased.
“My artwork, can be found all over the world: in Canada, Europe, and the United States.”
