The attention paid to light is particularly remarkable. She manages to restore the radiance of the day without resorting to too marked contrasts, preferring to let the light diffuse through translucent layers of paint. This creates an atmosphere that is both realistic and dreamlike, which transports the viewer into a moment of absolute tranquility.
Watercolor is fully part of the mastery of a technique as complex as it is fascinating: wet on wet. This process, which consists of applying the paint to completely moistened paper, brings a unique fluidity to the work, allowing soft and harmonious transitions between colors. In “Rivages”, Axelle Ardurat uses this method to represent vast seascapes as the subtle interaction between sky, land, and sea.
What is immediately striking is the feeling of serenity and light that this work gives off. The shades of blue in the sky, punctuated by vaporous clouds, extend to the horizon, creating a feeling of immensity and infinite space. The sea, apparently tranquil, is represented with soft undulations and nuances that recall the changing light of the Atlantic coast. The human figures, almost erased, reinforce the grandeur of the landscape while adding a discreet narrative dimension: walkers enjoying the simple beauty of a shore.

The fact thatAxelle Ardurat is self-taught and that she has developed this expertise in a technique as difficult as wet on wet adds even more depth to the interpretation of this work. His journey, marked by a personal quest for experimentation and improvement, shines through in every brushstroke. In addition, her expertise in framing, as a professional framer, allows her works to be presented in conditions that fully respect their aesthetic.
