Une civilisation désorientée vers des lendemains prometteurs - Disponible
120x160 cm, 3D, acrylic and oil pastel on canvas
The disarray of the collective, trapped by the will of a few powerful ones, gave birth to the necessity of imagining a new world, of remaking this society, of refusing to settle within it so long as it carried within itself the threat of its own disintegration. Of subverting its regressive mentalities and offering one’s body as an instrument in the dismantling of deadly structures.
The miracle of the energizing force sparked by collective anger, anger itself born from a lack of freedom, brought forth an untamable, fierce insubordination that shook the established order, weakened its foundations, and provoked dangerous tremors, igniting the burning desire to emancipate, to seize for oneself the promise of liberating tomorrows.
The time is coming, and is already here, when the painful slide of disoriented men into a fractured society yields to the resistance of many others who, in the face of the world’s disorder, have remained upright, aware of that immense power that will never be taken from them: the power to fight.
US - Disponible
100x100 cm, 3D, acrylic on canvas
“Us” was painted in a moment of reflection on belonging, to a community, to one another.
To belong is to know oneself seen, supported, understood. It is to find refuge in the tumult of the world, a light that shines even on the darkest days.
This canvas is a tribute to that universal need for connection, to the joy we draw from the presence of others, and to the beauty of building together, step by step, the bonds that carry us.
Play ground - Indisponible
50x70 cm, oil pastel on cotton canvas
“Play Ground” is a suspended territory, beyond clocks and commands.
Here, adults rest, play, bicker with tenderness, and let themselves be carried away by bursts of laughter.
It is a space to love, to read, to feast, to talk for hours without watching the time, without fearing to “waste it.”
A refuge against the crushing rhythm — work, sleep, repeat — and the capitalist structures that measure our lives in productivity.
Play Ground is an invitation to become human again, above all: to reclaim the time that belongs to us, to choose slowness as a form of resistance, and to make play an act of collective survival.
We, the people - Disponible
80x100 cm, oil pastel on cotton canvas
"We, the people” is a call to radical love.
This work says that we are, for one another, both the anchor and the horizon — bound and magnitude. That our survival does not lie in isolation, but in the ties that weave us together, in the love we choose to extend to one another.
We are multiple: colors, stories, wounds, hopes... and yet one single body, one single breath, one single whole, united and coherent in the face of the world’s fractures.
This canvas carries the conviction that our humanity is measured by the strength of what binds us, and that surrendering to collective love is the most radical act of resistance.
Back to self - Disponible
120x160 cm, acrylic and oil pastel on cotton canvas
Back to Self was born in the dense silence of the night, between two and three in the morning, after a long period of forced distance from artistic creation.
At first, Bénédicte tried to create by tracing the footsteps of what others had already done, as if imitation could be enough. But nothing resonated. So she erased everything. Destroyed it all. And began again.
In that radical gesture, she understood how often we are shaped—almost without realizing it—by the expectations and ideals of a dominant culture that dictates what we should be, say, or create. How much time do we lose silencing our truth, bending and reshaping ourselves to gain an illusory sense of belonging? We work tirelessly to be accepted in spaces that, deep down, will never truly welcome us if we remain faithful to ourselves.
Back to Self is the answer to that silent violence: the audacity not to belong, the refusal to be diminished, and the return to oneself as a free territory. It is a return to the very essence of what makes us unique.
Esaie 43:19 - Indisponible
120x160 cm, acrylic and oil pastel on cotton canvas
Cette œuvre est une promesse peinte. Elle parle à celles et ceux qui ont traversé la sécheresse du cœur, l’étendue aride des jours sans couleur, la solitude qui pèse comme un ciel sans horizon.
Elle raconte qu’au milieu du vide, une source peut jaillir ; qu’au sein même de la nuit, un chemin peut s’ouvrir. Les fleuves dans le désert sont ces élans de vie que l’on croyait impossibles, ces rencontres inattendues, ces gestes d’amour qui arrosent la terre craquelée de nos âmes.
Les chemins dans la solitude sont les liens qui nous relèvent, les directions qui se révèlent quand on pensait que tout était perdu.
Cette toile porte un souffle d’espérance : même là où tout semble mort, il existe un passage, et l’eau vive de la joie peut encore couler.
Bringing light - disponible
120x140 cm, 3D, acrylic and oil pastel on cotton canvas
Before leaving for New York City, where Bénédicte was invited to join grassroots activists in the fight against police violence, systemic racism, and state brutality, a part of her trembled.
It was in that suspended moment — between the announcement of the project and her departure — that Bénédicte created this canvas, “Bringing Light.”
For her, this work became a glow carried into the heart of the unknown, a lighthouse in the darkness.
This painting speaks of our inner strength to illuminate what must be illuminated, to carve out pathways of transformation and freedom, even when everything ahead feels uncertain or impossible to foresee.
The journey - Indisponible
20x100 cm, 3D, acrylic and oil pastel on cotton canvas
In her artistic journey, Bénédicte asked herself what kind of creation she wanted to put into the world.
She quickly understood that she did not want to follow classical rules nor bend to the expectations of traditional art circles. She declares: “I don’t care about mixing colors that are not meant to go together,” dismissing the aesthetic norms dictated by those trained in art schools or shaped by a certain artistic environment.
Bénédicte proclaims: “I am not an interior decorator. I am an artist in search of authenticity, seeking to transmit a message that is strong, sincere, capable of awakening and unsettling.”
This painting embodies that choice — clear and irreversible — nourished by exchanges and encounters with other artists in Europe and beyond.
It is the expression of a new freedom, of a deep commitment to create work that transcends aesthetics to touch the soul, to question, and to open pathways toward real transformation.
