Eléonore Bernair

Marine Paintings

Eléonore Bernair Feeling realityIt seems entirely natural to feel fascinated when looking at Eléonore Bernair's seascape paintings. In an instant, a kind of magnetic pull catapults the viewer deep into the mystery of the powers of nature and at the same time high into altitudes where one easily believes to hear the magic buzz of heaven. The elements of nature seem to be bursting of energy, yet there is a supernatural air around, as if not from this world. The song of the wind and the roll of the sea mix with the whisper of legends of the myths of creation, a sensation that appears to be deeply woven into every centimeter of the paintings. Someone who could not see Bernair's seas might be bewildered about such broad words and possibly suspect them to be from the late nineteenth century, but no, I am writing them right now and these paintings are modern. In fact, very modern. Well -timeless. And now, that you see them, I guess you agree that Eleonore Bernair´s proud statement of reality can cope with even the biggest stage: That´s what is. It´s all yours. Love it! Hyperrealism is the name of this genre of painting. Hyper, because of its intensity, realism, because it appreciates just what there is - a worship of the here and now.
