"Where Mountains are not Mountains " figurative oil painting nature meditation

2014

About the Item

"Where Mountains are not Mountains" is Buddhist saying, in front of the mountains, sometimes you don't see them (covered by clouds or mist) and they will appear again. Just be patient, everything has its time and be relaxed, things seem going to the wrong way but indeed when the "clouds" and "mists" are cleared you are all good, so be patient, no worries, life will go on. Clementine believes in the power of colour and the power of healing through art. Her works are often considered therapeutic, offering a quiet corner for meditation where viewers can admire the beauty of nature while reflecting on their own inner world. Clementine often portrays the solitude of human existence through tiny figures with their shadows as their only companion in vast landscapes. Her oil paintings carry a silent passion that speaks louder than words. With their fairytale-like quality, her works create a dreamy, mysterious ambience accompanied by a sense of universal melancholia. Her works are collected by private collectors and institutions in Hong Kong, the U.S. and Italy.
