Marie-Claude Jacques
Artistic approach
For Marie-Claude Jacques, to paint is above all an adventure of movements and colors. Responsive to the influence of music, color and light, she recreates the atmosphere of public places in which her characters evolve. Her large brush stroke gives the impression of living within the picture, to be one more character in her work of art.
