Original artwork description:

Presence in the Forest – Acrylic on canvas, 116 x 89 cm

Inspired by the iconic Forest of Fontainebleau, where Linda Clerget sketched directly from life, this artwork captures the soul of the woodland in vibrant color and energy. Translating her on-the-spot impressions onto the canvas, the artist brings to life a scene teeming with movement and quiet mystery.

The intertwining trees, painted in vivid tones of red, blue, and violet, create a dynamic rhythm, as though the forest itself is breathing. A majestic stag stands watch in the background, symbolizing the untamed spirit of nature, while a solitary human figure adds a touch of contemplation and intimacy.

Through her expressive brushstrokes and rich palette, Clerget blends reality with dreamlike abstraction, drawing viewers into the forest’s heart. This large-scale piece invites you to pause, immerse yourself in its beauty, and feel the connection to this ancient sanctuary.

"Presence in the Forest" is more than a painting—it is an invitation to reconnect with the magic of nature and the timeless tranquility of Fontainebleau.
