Fleur Palau is a contemporary realist painter whose whimsical theme of rabbits in Italian landscape verges on the surreal. Rich color and tone predominate, the compositions take on a dynamic tension as the artist creates a world tht evokes elements of the human condition. States of being and emotion are explored in a world that is real and unreal at the same time. It is an examination of our interior life set off against the antique world of cypress trees, empty houses and ambiguous paths of no return.
Fleur divides her time between Wolfeboro, NH working in the studio winters and Italy in the summer, where she works outside, depicting the terrain that surrounds her home in Versilia, Italy. |
