Marie-Claude Valat

Let Valat take you into the dreamy landscapes of the French Provence. Her soft colors and tranquil mood transport you to the early morning magic of light and lines of fields and vineyards. The shapes of tilled land or tree branch take form against the gauzy backdrop of the horizon, filling your soul with the fresh air of France’s broad, fertile land. In addition to Provençal landscapes, Valat’s compositions include still lifes, figurative drawings, and characters at the fishing dock or market. Her dreamy style uses a soft, pastel color palette, primarily in oils. Mauves and mustards dominate the rural landscapes. Aquamarines envelop you in the maritime and market scenes.
