Trained in Journalism and working as an arts administrator, Clementine is always torn between dream and reality. Thus, the self-proclaimed ‘weekend painter’ needs to find escape in the world that she creates. In Castle in the Air, Clementine offers a quiet corner for meditation and imagination, where viewers can admire the beauty of nature and the passing seasons in solitude. She casts magic spells on her small figures and animals, creating an enthralling world where light touches shadows, dream weaves with reality.

With their vibrant colours and whimsical narratives, some of her works may recall The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, with its charming but lonely planet which evokes a dreamy atmosphere, mysterious and complex and provokes a universal sense of melancholy.
