Oceanic Abstraction & the Alchemy of Blue and Gold

Intuitive mixed media art rooted in water, emotion, and texture by prize-winning artist Clémentine Daudier

My art is a homecoming — a way to anchor myself in the present while honouring the richness of a life lived across cultures and landscapes. As a lifelong expat, painting offers me a space to belong, to breathe, to feel.

I create abstract, intuitive works guided by emotion and sensation. Blue is my constant — evoking depth, calm, and the magnetic pull of the sea. Gold brings contrast and light, highlighting texture, memory, and movement. At times, it echoes Kintsugi — the Japanese art of embracing cracks with gold, turning what’s broken into something luminous.

I work with mixed media to build tactile, layered pieces that speak beyond words. In the studio, time dissolves. Art becomes a healing space — a sanctuary for silence, connection, and transformation.

My work invites you to pause, feel, and reconnect — to your own emotional landscapes, to the intelligence of your intuition, and to the quiet power of beauty. I believe in the soothing energy of “blue mind” — that peaceful, contemplative state inspired by water — and I aim to make that energy visible through each piece.

News

Suddenly, September and October are gone (in other words: I am a teacher, too).

To follow up on peer recognition, I had the immense pleasure of finishing 3rd in the « Elements » competition hosted by Ten Moir Gallery.
I was also shortlisted by the Visual Artists Association for their VAA500 International. The next selection is yet to be announced.
And I am featured in Artist Talk Magazine issue 39.

In other news, I will be exhibiting twice until the end of the year.
First on November 22nd, at Galerie meetLoft (attendance requires participation confirmation on the gallery’s website). It’s a classic collective exhibition where I will present a selection of highly giftable pieces (ho, ho, ho, guess what’s coming up ?).

Then I am very honoured to be among the happy few who will have wall space in the artists’ tent at the Christmas market of my district in Munich: Schwabing. It is THE art Christmas market of Munich, so I must admit that being offered this unique opportunity is a source of great joy and pride! I will be presenting a well-curated selection of my art on a 3-meter-wide wall. Yay!

As I have an almost full time job "on the side", I will only be there now and then (evenings and weekends) but my art will be on there from November 28th to December 23rd. Feel free to reach out to organise to meet there with a mug of mulled wine ;)
