Discover the contemporary work of Clotilde Maillard

Clotilde Maillard, born in 1960, lives and works in the South of France. Great-granddaughter of Emile Maillard, Official Painter of the Navy, she grew up in a world where art is inherited. Trained at the Académie Julian, she was a student in the drawing class of Roland Guillaumel, winner of the Prix de Rome in sculpture. She regularly practiced drawing at the Grande Chaumère and at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. With a great curiosity for all forms of artistic expression, she has practiced stone sculpture, modeling from a live model, and engraving.

I am convinced of the richness and infinite possibilities of pictorial representation. I use various supports (canvas, wood, plexiglass, cardboard, paper, ...) and mediums (oil, tempera, acrylic, ink, pastel, charcoal, ...) in my art. I approach all genres, portrait, landscape, live model, figurative abstraction, and other forms. Everything interests me. It is above all the emotion of what surrounds me that motivates my research the most.
I belong to a collective of artists (Drawing the Living) whose essential research is based on the representation of the being in movement, each artist expressing himself with his own techniques.
I also work on commissions, which gives me a gentle adrenaline rush. I remain open to all proposals.
