La peluche de l'éléphant roi habillé de vert (2023) Drawing by Christel Fréon

Christel Fréon is a contemporary French artist. Born in Mantes-la-Jolie, France, she embarked on her artistic journey with a fervent passion for visual expression. Her educational pursuits led her to Paris, where she honed her skills first in Graphic Arts, before graduating from the prestigious Ecole Nationale des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d'Art.

Throughout her career, Fréon has seamlessly navigated between her roles as an illustrator and a painter, finding inspiration both in the vast expanse of the open air and within the confines of her studio. It is within these realms that her landscapes and still lifes take shape, each stroke of her brush imbued with a sense of wonder and contemplation.

In her current artistic endeavors, Fréon delves into the interplay of light and shadow within her vibrant compositions, where a whimsical array of stuffed animals is carefully arranged amidst a backdrop of color and form. Through these evocative works, she beckons the viewer into a realm of introspection, inviting them to engage in an intimate dialogue where childhood memories intertwine with the timeless essence of existence.

Fréon's art serves as a conduit for the exploration of inner landscapes, where the mysteries of the past are enshrined and time itself seems to stand still. With each canvas, she invites us to rediscover the magic of innocence and the profound beauty found within the depths of our own imagination. In the hands of Christel Fréon, art becomes not merely a reflection of reality, but a portal to a world where dreams and memories converge in a symphony of color and light.
