Coralie Huon In The Studio
Time in the studio is a meditative experience, a way to daydream and escape in the landscapes I am drawing or painting.
Through my art practice, I re-experience the calm and peace of the outdoors and channel these feelings in my creations.
What inspires you?
Landscapes and people exploring landscapes is my main inspiration, in particular dramatic landscapes like mountains and rock formations. I use these motifs both to explore the beauty of nature and use then as metaphors to express the complexity of the human experience.
Describe your creative process.
I work mainly from pictures. That are the initial trigger of my inspiration, then I follow my instinct when it comes to colour and composition.
What are 3 words that best describe your work?
Graphical, illustrative, nature inspired.
Who are some artists that have influenced your work?
Jeremy Collins, Salvador Dali
What is the most important tool when creating your work?
Either silence or really good music or podcast, it helps me get deep in the creative zone.
What is the best piece of advice you have been given?
"Just start now and show up everyday". The power of habit and just working with consistency, step by step, and see the artist career as an ever evolving journey rather then somewhere to arrive to.
Where do you go for inspiration?
My inspiration comes from my adventures & form fellow adventurers. I take pictures when I am out climbing or in the mountains or get inspired by other people photograph. I also like to explore gallery and museums and soak into other artists process and visions.
