“This is the first time we have had the opportunity to perform in Lisieux and we are pleased to do so in this beautiful setting,” the two artists confirmed in the chorus. After an artistic meeting, Catherine Greensner and Helen Benhayon sympathized and expressed their desire to perform together someday.

If their worlds are different from the point of view of inspiration and the media used, “Nature brings us closer,” Helen Benhaon identifies. Highlighting their work and the artists’ mutual vision in their work.

About forty works

They chose together as a wink the title of the show, Lady Nature gameIn fact, it reflects both their work and the common point that connects them: the work of nature.

“If I work on the body, I also work in my own way on nature and flowers, because nature and man are inseparable, and the body is like a landscape, it is a small world, but I focus on man”

The artist trained as a designer, regularly works in the press and the audiovisual sector. All in pastel colors and Indian inks, in gold leaf and sometimes even in natural elements such as leaves and wood, his paintings show his enduring attachment to freedom and, through feminine nudes, celebrate human warmth and life in all its dimensions that the artist cherishes. .

“I love challenges, it is the color that guides me in my subjects, eg blue while in confinement, the sky is heavy and tormented, there is green, the knife gives strength to the subject while staying soft, sometimes the context also inspires me”
