An artist deeply attached to light and landscapes, Christiane Stenfort (born in 1940 in Dinan) establishes herself as one of the most sensitive voices in contemporary figurative art. Trained in Brittany, then in Morocco, Nantes, Reims, and finally Rouen, she has developed a pictorial style that combines the rigor of drawing, the warmth of colors, and a rare mastery of material. Her journey is marked by a decisive encounter: that with Albert Malet, the last great master of the École de Rouen, who encouraged her to assert her impressionist temperament.
His canvases, nourished by journeys, shores, and Norman mists, captivate with their luminous poetry. Whether depicting a Seine bank, a Breton port, or a landscape from the Midi, Stenfort captures the moment with vibrant sensitivity: a generous touch, subtle harmonies, and always an accurate atmosphere. His talent as a colorist, revealed during his stay in Morocco, now expresses itself in a palette that is both soft and dazzling, capable of transforming each scene into pictorial emotion.
A recognized artist and member of the Artistes Français, she has been awarded at numerous national and international exhibitions, including the First Prize in Oil Painting at the Salon of Arts and Creation in Marseille. Her works are featured in private collections across Europe, North America, and Asia, demonstrating the universal appeal of her work.
Acquiring a work by Christiane Stenfort means choosing an authentic, luminous, and profoundly human painting — a piece that extends the great Impressionist tradition while asserting a unique artistic personality.
