French artist, self-taught, I sign my works with my pseudonym Hartie. My artistic path, although it began with training in make-up, has always been guided by a deep passion for the arts and letters. Self-taught, I explored various forms of creative expression, from sewing to silk painting, before finding my calling in acrylic paint. This medium, both versatile and malleable, allows me to fully express my artistic vision, oscillating between transparency and rich texture. Like an alchemist in his laboratory, I experiment, mix and color, constantly exploring new techniques and integrating auxiliaries for unique effects, such as crackling. But my approach goes beyond pure aesthetics. I seek to breathe soul into my creations, to give them a second life, a tangible utility. Useful Art : A Unique Signature My concept is innovative : to transform art into everyday objects, paintings that become magnetic billboards, magical slates or reassuring nightlights. My Magnetic Boards, adorned with captivating illustrations, can be used to magnetize photos and memos, while my Slate Boards invite ephemeral creativity with their slate-painted silhouettes. And for the little ones, my Nightlight Boards, illuminated by the magic of a phosphorescent auxiliary, bring a soft light into the night. An Eco-responsible commitment Concerned about the future of our planet, I take an eco-responsible approach to my creative work. My creations require no paper, no batteries, thus reducing their environmental impact. Art as testimony While utility is at the heart of my concept, emotion remains the driving force behind my art. Nature, life's events and everyday life are all sources of inspiration. Sensitive to the animal and ecological cause, I use my creativity to raise awareness, painting pictures that tell stories and highlight the fragile beauty of endangered species. My challenge : to make art useful, accessible and meaningful. For a stroll through my dreamlike and colorful world, I invite you to visit my website.
Creative Alchemy : Art meets Utility
Welcome to my imagination, a dreamlike and colorful universe.
Energie Méditative is a personalized, interactive work of art and a unique creation, made to order for a young couple.
This canvas, painted on a magnetic stretcher, was designed to meet specific requests, while giving free rein to my artistic interpretation.
The clients wanted a representation of the seven chakras, integrated into a dream catcher, with a dominant blue color and the symbolic presence of water and stone.
The work takes on a special dimension due to the personal context of the woman, who suffers from a neurological and immunological disease. For her, meditation and spirituality are sources of energy and strength in her daily struggle.
To respond to this meditative dimension, I created seven magnetic medallions, each representing a chakra. These medallions can be moved and arranged on the canvas, allowing the person to personalize their meditation according to their needs.
Finally, a magical detail: the medallions are phosphorescent, offering a soft glow in the dark, for an even more immersive meditative experience.
So this work is much more than just a painting; it's an interactive tool, a source of energy and a symbol of hope.
Paris by Night is the second part of the Paris Collection of Magnetic Paintings, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the adventures of a dancer at the heart of Parisian life, with its iconic monuments as a backdrop.
Each piece captures a moment in the dancer's life, reflecting different aspects of the Parisian spirit:
Parisian spirit: On the roof of a car, defying the laws of gravity, the dancer exercises with grace, offering an unusual and captivating show.
Festive spirit: In a halo of light, ready to twirl, the dancer embodies the joie de vivre and effervescence of Parisian nights.
Academic spirit: After a night of adventure, the dancer returns to the calm of a studio, where she perfects her technique with rigor and discipline.
This series is an ode to dance, the City of Light and the free, creative spirit that animates it.
Mes tongs, lounging and strolling on the beach is a Tableau Ardoise in which a black silhouette in slate paint stands out.
This atypical surface offers an interactive experience: it invites writing and drawing with school chalk, transforming the work into an ephemeral space for expression.
A simple wipe with a slightly damp sponge erases all traces, leaving room for new creations. A soft cloth ensures an impeccable finish.
Much more than a simple picture, it can be transformed into a playful reminder or a magical slate.
Let your imagination run wild!
Azula is the third piece in this private collection : The Féminité des Jardins d'Hartie Collection.
A whimsical ode to species conservation and the protection of our planet.
She is the guardian of the Crusader Worlds, a mosaic of ecosystems where land and water creatures coexist in harmony.
Through my work, I enjoy telling stories, immortalizing unusual animal scenes, and above all, translating my deepest emotions onto this emblematic accessory of femininity.
For me, the hat is much more than a simple ornament: it is the quintessential symbol of feminine elegance and grace.
Envie de Couleurs is a Magnetic Board. It can be transformed into a bulletin board by attaching a picture or memo with magnets.
Weary of gray, rainy days, I sought refuge in color, the bright yellow of the sun.
My brushes, unleashed, danced across the canvas, giving life to two majestic pink flamingos, evolving on a beach. A swirling sunset of deep red structures the work.
A shower of luminous thistles, like meteorites, falls on the beach, adding a touch of strangeness and fantasy.
