Inspiration: In this expressive work, Corinne Tichadou depicts a stylized, almost primitive turtle with raw contours and a clear shell, scratched with features suggesting texture and the wear and tear of time. The massive, frozen white form emerges from a deep, textured black background, creating a striking contrast between light and dark. The composition evokes the slowness, wisdom and permanence that are symbolic characteristics of the tortoise. The dark, almost mineral background intensifies the silent presence of the animal, as if frozen in a cave or a distant memory.
Through its apparent simplicity and the richness of its material, Tichadou offers here an image that is both archaic and poetic, between figuration and abstraction.

Corinne Tichadou
France
Corinne Tichadou is a female painter working and living in Beziers, Southern France. Her painting is contemporary, figurative, mythological, biblical, allegorical and contemplative. It weaves links between the past and the present. Through mythology, tales, theatre, opera, biblical stories and her love for Italian Renaissance painting, she seeks timelessness as a philosophy. She paints the human being and questions it about its relationship to the world: to love, to family, to its courage, to its destiny, to its place in society.
