Presentation
Passionate about drawing and painting from a very young age, I specialized for fifteen years, through the technique of pastel, in portraiture and animal art, especially in the eyes. I then work a lot to order so that the value of the work of art is added to the emotion of remembrance.
In 2004, Christian Germak, art critic, described my work in “Art Gazette Internationale”:
“Marie-Joelle Cédat is a painter, she is a talented portraitist and portraitist … But to say that Marie-Joelle Cédat is a painter, and even a portraitist of animals, is too little, too limited, below reality in front of her talent as an observer and pictorial interpretation. She doesn’t just paint what she sees, she paints what her subject thinks. His portraits are messages from the animal to man. A separate art, which also stems from psychology and artistic knowledge. »
In 2010, I felt the irresistible need to expand my artistic production. Very large canvases, made with oil or acrylic, have enriched my production… African themes then became important. A renowned trade show organizer describes my painting:
“This work allows Marie-Joelle Cédat to show another facet of her talent through the power of large animals. One is seized by the force that emanates from each work, the movement and life that emerge from the subjects dealt with: the distrust in the eye of this deer, the majesty in the eyes of this lying deer or the energy of these two others fighting for the slab.”
Today, I also propose the design and creation of interior murals, vehicles, screens. You can discover my paintings in the large dog living salons and in my personal exhibitions.
