Inspiration: The Heart of the Herbs series by Sylvie Peyneau is a poetic exploration of the plant world, where nature seems to vibrate under the effect of textures and colours. Created in oil and pastels, these works superimpose layers of material that evoke the abundance and movement of wild herbs. Through the play of transparency and thickness, the artist recreates the impression of an undergrowth or a meadow in full effervescence, where each blade of grass becomes a living trace.
The hues oscillate between deep, bright greens, punctuated by flashes of yellow, ochre or blue, capturing the light that filters through the vegetation. Pastels soften or intensify certain areas, giving the compositions an impression of breath and lightness, as if the wind were blowing through the canvas. This mixed technique allows for a sensory richness where the eye is invited to get lost in the meanders of an untamed nature.
Through Au cœur des herbes, Sylvie Peyneau offers an immersion in the intimacy of plants, a journey that is both visual and tactile where the harmony of colors and the density of textures translate the strength and fragility of the natural world.

Sylvie Peyneau
France
Sylvie Peyneau, is a female painter who lives and works in Bordeaux. In contact with nature from an early age, in a village between Bordeaux and the sea, she knew how to probe the soul of what surrounds her, to approach them as closely as possible to better reveal their vitality, to move away enough to paint their singularity, their poetry. It is with this just distance, through a subtle balance between figuration and abstraction, that she infuses her painting with the enthusiasm, energy and freedom that make them so powerful.
