Winter – Hoste Pond

In this nuanced winter landscape, Madeleine Defranchi aptly evokes the muffled silence of pondsides in the cold season. The pearly gray sky, the faded reflections on the water, and the earthy hues give this work a melancholic and peaceful atmosphere. Through her subtle treatment of light and materials, the artist makes tangible the humidity of the air and the slowness of winter days. The bare trees in the foreground contrast with the blurred depth of the background, creating a soft and contemplative atmosphere. About the artist Since childhood, Madeleine Defranchi has explored drawing and painting with passion. After several years working with acrylics, she trained for over a decade with Stéphane Beyu, an artist from the Moscow School of Fine Arts. Today, she works in oils, inspired by nature and driven by the desire to translate the emotion of each moment.
