About the Item
“The Creative Woman” is an original oil painting by Andrée Bars.
In this delicate and poetic work, the artist captures a fleeting yet profound moment: the serene, almost sacred state of losing oneself in the act of creation. Draped in a luminous silk kimono, the woman sits in quiet concentration, her hands carefully crafting a crepe paper flower.
Fragile and unassuming at first, the flower slowly comes to life — blooming with color and spirit. It rises gently, unfolding toward a floating red moon: a powerful symbol of springtime renewal, reconnection with nature, and the reawakening of one’s inner rhythm.
The dreamlike background evokes the collective imagination of Japan: misty blue mountains, subtly suggested architecture, and a tranquil, hushed atmosphere. Every element breathes calm, introspection, and the quiet strength of focused imagination.
The Creative Woman is more than a tribute to artistic expression; it is an homage to the deep, meditative grace of being fully present in the act of making. In that moment, the creator dissolves — becoming a vessel through which beauty, spirit, and life’s natural rhythm flow. This work is a visual meditation on vitality, harmony, and the transformative power of creation.
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.

“Narcisse”, Contemplative Figure Red Beige Velvet Fabric Symbolist Oil Painting
By Andrée Bars
Located in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Titled "Narcissus" and by Andrée Bars, this oil on linen canvas painting captivates with its introspective tranquility and intricate detail. The artwork features a young person draped in a richly textured golden coat with deep red accents, lying beside a reflective surface on a wooden floor. The thoughtful pose and downward gaze suggest a moment of deep reflection, reminiscent of the mythological Narcissus who was mesmerized by his own reflection.
The background is adorned with a sheer, flowing curtain that adds a layer of softness to the composition, contrasting with the solid and tactile textures of the wooden floor. A lone white flower placed near a strategically positioned pocket watch further enriches the scene, introducing themes of beauty, fragility, and the relentless march of time.
The use of muted, earthy tones alongside dramatic lighting not only highlights the figure and elements within the painting but also evokes a mood of contemplation and solitude. This painting, through its symbolic elements and masterful execution, invites viewers to ponder themes of self-reflection, identity, and the ephemeral nature of time.

"The Magic Flute of Beauzart", Rose Flower Golden Drapery Symbolist Oil Painting
By Andrée Bars
Located in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Titled "The magic flute of Beauzart" and by Andrée Bars, this oil painting presents a mesmerizing fusion of music and nature, portrayed through the elegant composition of a clarinet entwined with a cascade of vibrant pink foxglove flowers. The instrument rests against a backdrop of crumpled golden drapery, adding a luxurious texture to the scene. Peeking from behind, a piece of sheet music, specifically Mozart's "Die Zauberflöte" (The Magic Flute), hints at a classical musical theme.
The clarinet, meticulously detailed, serves as the central axis for the foxgloves, which climb along its length, blending the organic with the man-made. This artistic choice may symbolize the harmony between music and the natural world, suggesting a lyrical and almost mystical interplay. The overall effect is one of surreal beauty, inviting the viewer to appreciate both the technical skill involved and the poetic, almost dream-like quality of the arrangement.
