Marina Dieul
"Rencontre 3" - Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

This is an original oil painting titled "Rencontre 3," created in 2023 by the artist Marina Dieul. It depicts a charming scene where a fluffy, yellow chick stands in a dark, square aperture, gazing outwards, while a snail appears to be making its way down the side towards the chick. The chick's soft yellow feathers and the snail's shiny, wet-look shell are rendered with realistic detail and texture. The work is painted on a panel that measures 6 x 6 inches with a depth of 1 inch (15.24 x 15.24 x 2.54 cm). Dieul's mastery of trompe-l'oeil is evident in the way she paints a white border around the black square, creating a three-dimensional illusion that the chick and snail are behind a white frame, although this is all on the same flat surface. The painting comes with an actual frame, which adds to its visual appeal and gives it a ready-to-hang convenience. The framed size measures 9 x 9 inches, emphasizing its intimate scale. The frame itself is a sophisticated addition, featuring an inner gold lip, giving a refined and elegant look. The outer part of the frame is black. It has a traditional profile with decorative ridges, contributing to the overall aesthetic by creating an interplay of textures and colors that enhances the artwork. The trompe-l'oeil technique extends to the appearance of the frame within the painting, which adds to the visual intrigue, making viewers do a double-take to understand the playful deception of depth and space. This piece by Marina Dieul is a delightful example of her skill in creating lifelike and whimsical subjects that interact with their seemingly tangible surroundings.

"Penguins" Oil Painting
By Derek Penix
Located in Denver, CO
Derek Penix's (US based) "Penguins" is an oil painting that depicts a huddle of penguins flocking gently together at water's edge. Bio/Artist Statement: Derek Penix was born on December 29, 1980 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Growing up Penix was surrounded by artists in his family as his mother and grandfather painted. Penix did not pursue painting until after graduating high school. Penix’s mother encouraged him to pursue his talent and took his paintings down to a local gallery where he sold his first piece. Through the years Penix has been inspired by old masters such as Nicolai Fechin, Sargent and the French Impressionists, but it has been over the last few years that Penix has been the most influenced by artist Quang Ho. Penix had the opportunity to take a workshop under Mr. Ho and later to study briefly with him. Since then, Penix believes his paintings have grown more in the last two years than in his last ten years of painting. As an artist Penix gains inspiration from his environment whether that be at the park, in his home, or traveling abroad. He enjoys the freedom to paint different subject matter and has learned to push himself to try new things, even if they are out of his comfort zone. Penix was recognized in South West Art...
