“When I first met Emilie she was a woman with an immense, empowering beauty, but her complexity also exhibited a vulnerable state. It was obvious that life had dealt her a fair share of struggles. Though she had fought to overcome darkness from her past, I could see that she was still in a place where trust and hope were distant memories held in simpler times.”
A natural progression of conversations and photoshoots led Christiane to present the model in a nearly bare form, lightly clad while combining elements of her emerging new trust with a proverbial armor, symbolized in the form of a bold, mesh dress. She faces forward with direct eye contact that alludes to confidence, but pulls at the mesh dress that reminds us of moat, securing her rights.
Such is the role of an artist to mix the elements of how things were and who we’ve become in that wake. Subjects don’t always appear easily framed with one singular emotion. Christiane has captured a range of emotions in this delicately rendered painting of a courageously armed, bronze beauty.

Presentation
Christiane paints her philosophy of life in every painting she does. Her zest for life and her unshakable belief that the universe provides are palpable in her paintings, never failing to lift a smile from the viewer.
Originally painting in a romantic style to gain the recognition she craved as an awkward teenager, she soon developed a mature mastery of the styles of the old masters through commissioned paintings.
These days Christiane paints what's alive and calling in her, whether it's a sense of wonder about this world or compassion for her models, especially those that lack an articulate voice, such as women who've suffered trauma, her widowed father, or sometimes animals.
Christiane paints in oil on board or aluminium panels, preferably of large formats, drawing, according to the mood or theme that may be stirring in her, on her large archive of photographs of models who have posed for her over the years.
