Dorothée MARTIN DU MESNIL

Criticism

If you seek paintings that unite the charm of a reality captured with sensitivity with a heady and creative freedom, you will inevitably find the work of Dorothée MARTIN DU MESNIL. I admire artists who possess this fascinating duality, and who are able to portray beauty naturally and share with other enthusiasts their innovative character without fuss or pretension. Dorothée MARTIN DU MESNIL, whose method of composition is carefully studied, expresses her deep sensuality through the different themes that interest her, without neglecting for all that her natural ability to render shapes and colours authentic through her vitality and her imagination that is both poetic and daring. Panache, ease, and a unique brushstroke and style of composition allow the artist to enthral enthusiasts who are stunned and delighted by the enchanting quality of this portrayal of nature that is both innovative and yet very close to everybody’s hearts. Human figures, birds, flowers and landscapes never yield to a wonted approach, but, from the fine detail to the infinitely sensuous and in fact very truthful bodies, Dorothée MARTIN DU MESNIL has established herself as a great and authentic painter of our time.
