Artist's interpretation of the work:
This painting is the last in a series of three. It is inspired once again by a forest located in Gaspésie, more precisely in the village of St-Alphonse.
This section of the woodland is located next to the landscape of Enchanted Forest 01 and Enchanted Forest 02, because I wanted to keep the same magical effect that seems to emerge from nature.
In this work, we can find this soft daylight subtly illuminating the forest, illuminating the foliage and the moss covering the trees. This enchanting landscape with its vibrant colors offered a sublime spectacle to the eyes!
My eyes were attracted by the multiple shades of green, oscillating between yellow and blue, offering a strong contrast with the orange color of the dead leaves on the ground and the trunk stripped of its bark. In spite of this multitude of vibrant colors, this landscape exuded a peaceful atmosphere that inspired relaxation, a serene place where one would have wanted to spend hours.
Forêt enchantée 03 - Chantal Bourque
Through her realism style paintings, Chantal is guided by the way colors, shapes and light interact in harmony with nature. Her approach is meticulous, her brush strokes are precise and delicate. Her artistic technique is constantly evolving and it is with the exploration of different mixed media that she gradually abandons oil painting, in order to devote herself for several years only to acrylic. With time, Chantal adds more and more textures to the trunks she paints, and now integrates real pieces of bark, which become the common thread in all her works.
Her work is above all a tribute to trees. Through her paintings, this artist is constantly looking for a way to express the feelings that they give off for her: resilience, strength, rootedness, originality, hope, singularity, mystery, well-being and impermanence.
Through her work, Chantal hopes to encourage people to live in connection with nature, and also to respect it. An awareness that the human being is partly interrelated to this grandiose nature, which can bring us so many benefits.
