Christiane Guerry - TEMPETE SUR NICE

Acrylic on canvas
Play of textures and colors

In this work, the artist aimed to capture the fury and beauty of a storm. Using acrylic paint, she blended Aboriginal art with Expressionism to convey the power of the elements. The palm tree, resilient before the sea’s force, embodies resilience. This vibrant canvas will infuse energy and a captivating presence into your home, evoking the grandeur of nature in motion.

Emerging artist

Born July 24, 1948 in Grenoble (France) into an artistic family with a father tenore (tenor) and an uncle who is an artist-painter.
Gifted at drawing from early childhood, she knew she would become a painter.
At 18 she met Mercedes Henry, an artist-painter, with whom she worked for 2 years! At the end of their collaboration Mercedes Henry advised her to take off on her own, and she began to exhibit! Mercedes Henry nicknamed her “The Painter of Colors.”
After living in Grenoble, Dijon and Paris, she currently lives in Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) and Fréjus (Var). Her career spans several decades!
She has sold to collectors around the world!
Numerous prizes and recognitions mark her journey!
Curious, she explores all media and has found her “pasta” (style) and her pictorial themes! Forms, lines, vibrant colors evoking her emotions…
She admires Frida KAHLO, Alice NEEL, Camille CLAUDEL among women artists with atypical artistic and emotional journeys!
She loves TURNER, Van GOGH, CEZANNE, RENOIR, MATISSE, KADINSKI, Marc CHAGAL among men for their work and exploration in their creations!
With Mercedes Henry (contemporary artist in Grenoble) she works with materials and learns the use of the knife. Mercedes calls her “The Painter of Colors”! Material, Colors and Light are her research across all her creations! She began to exhibit in 1968!
