Marie-Eve Champagne

From Below - My Holyrood, Original Painting

2019

Artist Comments
This painting is loosely based on the Holyrood Palace in the city of Edinburgh. The dynamic between the delicate hidden patterns at the top and the commanding columns leading our way to them is at the center of the work. It plays on concepts of perspective, height and motifs. With nowhere to gaze but up, a fresh, different outlook on architectural landscapes is presented.

About the Artist
Southern California transplant Marie-Eve is heavily influenced by the region’s natural environment and beauty. She works from a studio inside her San Diego home where she enjoys looking out the window to draw inspiration from the sunlight’s effect on the landscape. Marie-Eve’s work occupies a unique space at the intersection of fine art and stylized modern design, utilizing both representational and abstracted subjects. She juxtaposes organic forms with clean planes, thick outlines, and blocks of color that delight the eye. Using limited but carefully selected color palettes, Marie-Eve joyfully articulates concepts and elements of the natural world through a clean, modernist aesthetic.
