An oasis of art and light #
Located in the heart of the village, Sost Church is a true sanctuary that combines art and spirituality. Its majestic architecture, paired with dazzling stained glass, provides an enchanting backdrop where light dances on Cécile’s canvases. During the ephemeral exhibition “Cécile Tells,” which took place on November 5 and 6, the walls of this sacred edifice vibrated to the rhythm of her creations, attracting an audience in search of artistic emotions.
The beginnings of an artistic adventure #
The story of Cécile in the world of painting began in 1981, during a decisive meeting with the artist Sophie. The latter offered her the keys to creativity by handing her a brush and a canvas. Cécile recalls the moments spent capturing simple landscapes — a hedge, a wheat field, and a sky dotted with clouds. These first brushstrokes marked the beginning of an enriching adventure, where each canvas is a new page of expression.
A palette of inspirations #
What drives Cécile is her ability to find inspiration in daily details: a newspaper, a photograph, or a simple moment in life. Her work, deeply figurative, reflects the variety of her sources of inspiration. She explains that each composition requires intense concentration, a total immersion in the act of creation. For her, painting is not just a technique, but a true immersion in her own universe.
Techniques and commitments #
Cécile asserts that each technique has its own essence. On paper, she uses black, a color that evokes writing and contrast. The difficulty of such an approach lies in its definitive nature; unlike canvas where touch-ups are possible, paper demands flawless precision. She does not identify as an artist in the traditional sense, but rather as an authentic craftswoman of art, highlighting every detail dear to her heart.
A philosophy of accessible art #
Cécile invites everyone who hesitates to pick up a brush to take the plunge, for to her, failures are guarantees of learning. “Failures are very promising,” she says, emphasizing the importance of experimentation. Her exhibition “Cécile Tells” allowed visitors to immerse themselves in her vibrant and passionate universe. Cécile, through her simplicity, reminds us that art is above all a personal adventure, a journey that anyone can embark upon.
A unique experience at the heart of the church #
The walls of Sost Church warmly welcomed her artistic universe, offering visitors an immersive and inspiring experience. Cécile’s works, exhibited for a limited time, touched those who had the chance to admire them, echoing an artistic resonance beyond mere colors and shapes. This event became, for the duration of a weekend, a tribute to art as a vector of emotions and dreams.
