Inspiration: In this work entitled Commedia dell’Arte, the artist revisits the archetype of the Pierrot or the Masked Diver, an emblematic figure of Italian theatre. Isolated against a monochrome background of pinkish and dreamy hues, the figure moves forward in balance, a flower delicately held in his hand. His black mask and white suit contrast sharply with the bare background, emphasizing his comic and melancholic nature. The suspended gesture, the silence of the décor, and the soft palette create an atmosphere of hushed poetry, like a moment stolen from time. Between theatre, dance and painting, the work evokes the fragility of human emotions, the play of appearances, and the beauty of innocuous gestures.
This composition, both stripped down and loaded with symbols, is part of a pictorial tradition in which the figure of the Harlequin or the mime becomes the mirror of our condition — solitary, dreamy, and yet intensely alive.

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.
