Night - Hoste Pond

In Nuit, Madeleine Defranchi offers a subtle interpretation of the nocturnal landscape around the Hoste pond. The deep hues of blue-gray, purple, and brown earth blend into a hushed, almost silent atmosphere, where the reliefs fade into the mist and gloom. The thick brushwork, expressive material, and muted palette create a captivating balance between abstraction and suggestion. The water becomes a mirror, absorbing the last reflections of the day or the first glimmers of the moon. A poetic, almost meditative work, ideal for refined or contemporary interiors seeking calm and depth. About the artist Madeleine Defranchi has been painting since childhood, with a strong sensitivity for nature and emotion. After training in acrylics, she has devoted herself for over ten years to oil painting, guided by the teaching of painter Stéphane Beyu (Moscow School of Fine Arts). Her universe blends peaceful landscapes, sensitive palettes, and a touch of mystery. Technical details Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 72 × 50 cm Year: 2016 Signature: Signed “M. Defranchi”.
