Semi-abstract art “Viens plus près” with the painter Hélène Lachapelle


 This remarkable work, entitled "Viens plus près", is a dazzling creation by the painter Hélène Lachapelle, part of her series "Story of a dream". Abstract art finds here a singular form through the evocative face of a moufflon, a robust and wild animal whose essence seems captured in the lively movements and rich colors of the picture painted on a wooden panel.


 The painting, measuring 18 x 12 inches, is made in acrylic paint, a medium allowing the artist to superimpose layers and play with texture in an intuitive way. Created in 2021 in Quebec, this piece is an original work, a window open to the artist's deep reveries, a call to come closer to fully immerse in the dreamlike universe that it unfolds.


 In “Viens plus près”, Lachapelle’s technique and vision converge to form an almost living image. The expressive brushstrokes and bold color choices create a dynamic that almost appears to be in motion. Warm tones of brown and rust, mixed with pops of white and blue, form a striking contrast that evokes the raw power and grace of nature.


 The mouflon, subject of this work, is represented in an abstract way but with an underlying realism which challenges the observer. Lachapelle uses shape and color to suggest the presence of the animal rather than to explicitly define it, thus inviting a deeper and personal contemplation. This mouflon's face, emerging from a tumultuous background, seems almost like an apparition, a spiritual manifestation that embodies the title of the work, encouraging viewers to approach and discover the details hidden in the depths of the painting.


 Hélène Lachapelle's art questions, she invites the viewer to introspect, to dive into the abyss of her own subconscious. Each viewer can see a different story, a personal invitation to explore the emotions and dreams that the artist has infused into this work.


 “Viens plus près” is more than an image; it is a sensory experience, a silent but powerful dialogue between the artist, the work and the viewer.


 The mouflon, a totem animal in several cultures, often represents strength and agility. The way Lachapelle presents it, through the prisms of abstraction, reinforces this symbolism by infusing an almost mythical quality into the animal. By challenging the conventions of animal representation, it offers a new perspective on the essence of these majestic creatures.


 Buying a work like “Come Closer” does not only mean acquiring a decorative object; it’s appropriating a piece of a dream, a part of the artist’s vision of the world. It also means supporting contemporary artistic creation and recognizing the importance of abstract art in the exploration of human emotions. For collectors and art lovers, owning a piece from Hélène Lachapelle's "Histoire d'un rêve" series is a unique chance to engage with raw beauty and visual poetry.
