Lise de Maisonneuve loves to juggle with colours. To amplify, exaggerate and harmonise them, playing with colours to create the impact of light and luminosity. New inspirations drive her: Close-ups of jewellery, gold objects and trinkets.The addition of gold, silver and copper leaf to her works.
Trompe l'oeil compositions transforming the character into an actor, establishing an intimate moment with the observer and inviting him to be part of the story unfolding before him. Her goal is to deliver her actors from the stasis of the painting, to bring them to life and have them interact with the "real" world by inciting them, with plays on perspective, to break out of the rigid image of their decor.
