{zen-quote}Marie-Claire Pajeile{/zen-quote} {zen-author}

Née Tourcoing, Nord de la France.
Ecole Supérieure des Beaux arts de Tourcoing.

Première exposition personnelle Peinture (Lavis, gouache, huile) Sculpture (bois, pierre).
La découverte de la Charente fut l'occasion d'ajouter couleur et mouvement.
Expositions en France, Belgique, Norvège, Suède, Russie, U.S.A., Grande-Bretagne, Espagne, Hollande.

"J'aime la peinture De Marie-Claire Pajeile C'est d'abord un rêve d'enfant, les réminiscences de souvenirs d'un temps disparu. Ses personnages se déplacent, anonymes et anodins, dans un quotidien simple et contemporain.

Les formes à tête humaine, au sexe indifférencié, semblent heureuses de leur état, satisfaites de l'univers qui les entoure. Ce sont des images fortes et colorées qui nous révèlent la permanence de notre condition.

Le monde va, évolue. Les hommes sont les mêmes. Leur symbolique varie peu.
Les personnages toujours en mouvement de Marie-Claire Pajeile sont immédiatement reconnaissables; ils sont hors du temps. Ils passent, regardent, ironiques et distants. Ils sont là pour témoigner."
