I love fantasy art, but not just any kind of fantasy art. I am really drawn to what I would really call the elegant realm living in the wide, wide world of fantasy art. And some artists, a lot of them women I must say, are really, really good at it. The picture on your left for example, is a close-up of 'Frostmoon' by the very talented Nene Thomas. I am pleased to introduce a very talented French artist as well...

J'aime beaucoup l'art qui s'inspire du fantastique, mais pas n'importe lequel. Je suis vraiment attirée par ce que j'appellerais le royaume de l'élégance qui brille au sein du vaste monde qu'est le Fantastique. Certains artistes, dont beaucoup sont des femmes je dois dire, sont particulièrement doués dans ce domaine. L'image à gauche est un plan rapproché de 'Frostmoon', soit 'Lune givrée', de Nene Thomas qui a beaucoup de talent. Je suis heureuse de pouvoir inclure une artiste française également.

On the other hand, I also appreciate the whimsical charm of some other fantasy artists,  who create lively fantasy creatures who remind me sometimes of childhood dreams.

D'un autre côté je ne suis pas insensible au charme des images crées par certains artistes qui donnent à leurs oeuvres une touche d'originalité un peu enfantine. Ils me rappellent le monde des rêves d'enfance, qu'aucun d'entre nous ne veut oublier.

So, whatever your preference, have a look around and feast your eyes on these beauties! 

Quelle que soit votre préférence, prenez le temps de jeter un oeil à ce que je vous ai mis de côté. Régalez vos yeux ! 

 

Elegance : Nene Thomas & Jessica Galbreth. 

Image on the right is a close-up of Gipsy Rose, by Jessica Galbreth. Gros plan sur Gipsy Rose, de Jessica Galbreth, à votre droite.

Their styles are different, but both have that touch of elegance in common. Their fairies or mystical ladies have grace and the surroundings are gorgeous. Themes and sources of inspiration vary: mythology, music, seasons... Each has a very good website where you can discover the complete collections of their work, you can also buy art and lots of other articles graced with their beautiful illustrations.

Les deux styles sont différents, mais ils ont tous les deux cette élégance qui m'est si chère. Les fées ou femmes mystiques qu'elles dessinent ont une grace certaine et les décors sont sublimes. Les sources d'inspiration sont variées : la mythologie, la musique, les saisons, etc. Chacune de ces artistes ont un excellent site internet que je vous invite à visiter. Vous pourrez y découvrir leurs collections complètes, y acheter des tableaux ou divers articles embellis par leurs oeuvres.

Sandrine Gestin : the French touch, une artiste française. 

Sandrine Gestin is an artist living in Britany, France. You know, Britany where the famous magical forest of Broceliande can be found. What a great place to find inspiration! She is quite a famous name in the world of fantasy art in her homeland. Her style is uniquely elegant and delicate, the picture here is her own rendering of Galadriel. Note: Sandrine has recently published her own sketch book.

Sandrine Gestin est bretonne. La Bretagne étant elle-même terre de magie et de légendes, avec en particulier la forêt magique de Broceliande, quel meilleur endroit pour cette artiste ! Son nom est bien connu dans le monde du fantastique. Elle a son propre style, élégant et délicat. Ici, sa propre version de Galadriel. Note : Sandrine vient de publier son Carnet de Croquis.

Sandrine Gestin 

Sandrine has two websites! Deux sites pour Sandrine ! 

Obviously the sites will be in French, but to appreciate her art, an understanding of the language isn't necessary.

Flesh and blood fairy! Une fée de chair et d'os ! 

Mairead Nesbitt appears on the stage with the grace and the electrifying presence of a magic creature. A lovely and wonderfull talented spirit. When participating in Celtic Woman performances, her gowns make her look even more like a fairy. It just struck me so much I thought you'd love to see it for yourself!
Mairead Nesbitt apparaît sur scène avec toute la grâce et la présence envoûtante d'une créature magique. Un être de beauté et de talent extraordinaire. Lors des concerts de Celtic Woman les robes qu'elles portent la font vraiment ressembler à une fée. Cela m'a tellement frappé que je me suis dit que vous aimeriez voir ça de vos propres yeux !

Meredith Dillman: a touch of innocence, un zeste d'innocence. 

Meredith Dillman's illustrations remind me of chidhood's innocent views. They have a special delicacy, wether rendered in soft and muted shades or in vibrant colors. Again, on her website you'll find a lot more: more art and fairy stuff.

Les illustrations de Meredith Dillman me redonnent les yeux de l'enfance. Elles sont d'une délicatesse particulière, que leurs couleurs soient douces ou vives. Sur son site internet vous trouverez plus de choses : plus d'illustrations et d'articles féériques.
