Gaze at artist Maite Delteil’s artworks, and you realise an intense fascination with rounded trees in full bloom and birds, a penchant for using vibrant colours and a harmony of structure. Titled Enchanted, the latest series of artworks by the French artist depict nature in all its glory and is inspired by her childhood. Through the passage of seasons she also draws attention to the process of creation, destruction and regeneration that is evidenced in nature.
Explaining her fascination with nature-based themes, Delteil recalls, “I was born and lived amid nature. In our house, we had a big garden with all kinds of flowers, and a very big old tree. We had an apple orchard and cherry trees, redcurrant and gooseberry bushes. So, it is only natural that the foliage has crept into my work.”
