Oceanic Abstraction & the Alchemy of Blue and Gold

Intuitive mixed media art rooted in water, emotion, and texture by prize-winning artist Clémentine Daudier

My art is a homecoming — a way to anchor myself in the present while honouring the richness of a life lived across cultures and landscapes. As a lifelong expat, painting offers me a space to belong, to breathe, to feel.

I create abstract, intuitive works guided by emotion and sensation. Blue is my constant — evoking depth, calm, and the magnetic pull of the sea. Gold brings contrast and light, highlighting texture, memory, and movement. At times, it echoes Kintsugi — the Japanese art of embracing cracks with gold, turning what’s broken into something luminous.

I work with mixed media to build tactile, layered pieces that speak beyond words. In the studio, time dissolves. Art becomes a healing space — a sanctuary for silence, connection, and transformation.

My work invites you to pause, feel, and reconnect — to your own emotional landscapes, to the intelligence of your intuition, and to the quiet power of beauty. I believe in the soothing energy of “blue mind” — that peaceful, contemplative state inspired by water — and I aim to make that energy visible through each piece.

Back to school sale!

August wasn't very active for me in terms of making or promoting art. However, I did have a nice time with family in France, and was able to properly rest. Bliss!

I learnt that one of my artworks was published in Artego Magazine n°966, which is always a nice treat.

September will be very busy, my son becoming a school kid and me going back to teaching. But this time it'll be in a German school (Gymnasium), and I'll teach French as a second foreign language.

Stay tuned, though, because I have a couple of pieces that I need to upload to the online shop, and some applications for Prizes or publications are still being processed...
