Sophie Paquet's artistry is an embodiment of her spontaneity, as she deems her most impulsive creations as the finest ones. Her compositions are a reflection of her temperament, characterized by an abundance of energy and motion, and not an ounce of regret or hesitation. She has always been fascinated by the dynamism of color, which plays a central role in her works. Her oeuvre is a harmonious amalgamation of asymmetry and variety that brings about a quivering and wriggling composition.
The allure of painting for Sophie is that it is an impulsive outpouring from the heart, fiery tributes to nature, a quest for balance, light, youth, and beauty. Her art is full, like a beautiful bouquet of flowers, where every color is fine, subtle, and velvety. The intersecting volumes and rigorous lines create a composition that may seem simple and unsophisticated, but on closer inspection, it is anything but.
Sophie's paintings are a manifestation of her skillful work, a confluence of her flavor of life, the taste of effort, and a grand creative vision. Her cut floral paintings are a testament to her mastery, for they bring forth a sense of vitality and impertinence. The flowers she depicts are characterized by their brilliance, freshness, and mischievousness, reminiscent of the way a child would view them.
Sophie's works are essentially expressionist, for they embody sensuality in every stroke, an unusual sense of color and gesture, that is born of the heart. Her works are a celebration of life, where every color, line, and stroke is a testament to the depth of her emotional connection with the world.
