About the Item

“The Call of Spring”, is an original oil painting on linen by Andrée Bars. Set in a soft forest bathed in golden ochre, misty beige, and earthy browns, this dreamlike composition captures the gentle awakening of nature. At the heart of the painting stands an old tree stump, moss-covered and noble, bearing the marks of time — yet teeming with new life. From its hollow rise delicate white origami birds, as if born from the wood itself, responding to an invisible call in the air. Bright green spring leaves sprout around them, dancing lightly in their flight. The background — a forest wrapped in morning mist and soft sunlight — radiates a hushed warmth, where every shade of yellow, cream, and pale green signals the quiet return of life. This piece is a poetic meditation on renewal, transformation, and the eternal rhythm of the seasons. The ephemeral meets the eternal, as paper birds soar from the remnants of the past, heralding the arrival of spring with grace and serenity. Andrée Bars is a French painter. Having been strictly trained for 4 years by the American hyper-realist painter Mr. Ted Seth Jacobs, who himself inherited 19th century masters’ skills from his own professor, Andrée Bars learned the profession of painting in its purest tradition. She still applies these ancient masters’ technics on her art. Each painting contains at least three layers of oil paint. Andrée Bars applies her skills to hyper-realism on surrealist ideas. Although her paintings copy the reality to the extreme, they can not be qualified in a simple term of hyperrealism nor of trompe-l’oeil style, her artworks distinguish themselves for a kind of mysterious sweetness they convey to the spectator.

"Each Has Its Destiny", Snails in Nature Symboliste Oil Painting
By Andrée Bars
Located in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Titled "Each Has Its Destiny," this charming symbolist oil painting on canvas by Andrée Bars offers a serene and contemplative view of nature's delicate balance. The composition features three snails navigating their way across a barbed wire fence, set against a backdrop of a lush meadow under a clear blue sky. The snails, each with distinctively colored shells – one brown, one dark, and one golden – symbolize individuality and the unique paths each creature takes in life. The barbed wire, often associated with barriers and challenges, contrasts with the gentle and slow movement of the snails, suggesting a journey filled with obstacles yet approached with patience and determination. The bamboo stalks and various wildflowers in the background add a touch of whimsy and natural beauty, emphasizing the coexistence of fragility and resilience in the natural world. The delicate rendering of the leaves and flowers, along with the meticulous depiction of the snails, showcases the artist's attention to detail and mastery of texture. The painting's soft lighting and subtle color palette evoke a sense of calm and introspection, inviting the viewer to reflect on the theme of destiny and the slow but steady progress each individual makes despite life's challenges. "Each Has Its Destiny" is a poignant reminder of perseverance and the unique journey every being undertakes, rendered with elegance and sensitivity. Andrée Bars is a French painter.
