Rouvé de Flamingh’s Art

Rouvé’s oil paintings are abstract works painted in rich, vibrant and textured colours, which she conveys onto canvas using brushes, oil bars and palette knives. These artworks are a process that unfolds as the art is created, with no clear plan upfront, and pieces are only titled upon completion. 

One constant is the generous use of colour, texture and careful design, which evolves according to her mood and allows the meaning and feeling behind each artwork to be in the eye of the beholder.

Rouvé says that her inspiration comes from her immediate surroundings, her memories and the things that she feels passionate about. Her emotional and sensorial experiences influence the colours on her palette and the brushstrokes that she uses. Each painting is created without a preconceived agenda and the end product is usually an unexpected experience. Rouvé adds that she would like to think that the images appearing in her work, convey an emotional expression rather than a realistic reproduction of what she sees. This means that her paintings are one-offs, and cannot be repeated or commissioned. These creations are not the result of a cognitive process but come from her very soul.
