This exhibition of oil paintings is entitled "Landscapes and Passages - Inhabited Mountains of the Haut-Giffre."
"This exhibition brings together paintings of the landscapes of the Haut-Giffre valley, observed throughout the seasons, where the mountain presents itself as a lived-in place, traversed, familiar.
Sometimes, presences slip into these panoramas, without ever dominating. Human or animal, they are naturally inscribed in the landscape and its history.
The paintings seek to reveal these passages and traces, discreet witnesses to the life and rhythm of the mountain. They invite the viewer to pause, to grasp what unfolds on the margins, and which contributes to the very essence of the place." Vicky P.
Artist Biography:
Vicky P (born in 1995) is a painter whose practice focuses on alpine landscapes. A member of the Société des Peintres de Montagne (Society of Mountain Painters) since 2025, her work seeks to capture the essence of a place and the intensity of a moment, between memory, perception, and recomposition.
Initially trained in digital arts and visual effects (3D/VFX), she redirected her practice towards drawing and oil painting following the periods of lockdown, marking a return to gesture, to materials, and to a temporality in harmony with the ever-changing and silent mountain landscapes. In these mediums, she rediscovered a sense of grounding, slowness, and contemplation.
Originally from the Monts du Lyonnais region, she nevertheless draws her inspiration from the Haut-Giffre, a region deeply connected to her childhood memories.Her works often originate from high-altitude excursions, where she photographs and sketches from life. Back in her studio, she reworks and recomposes these fragments in oil, seeking less to reproduce a panorama than to evoke a feeling: the density of a silence, the abruptness of a light, the roughness of a landscape.
A delicate balance between fieldwork and studio, between observation and recomposition.
Without reservation
