Cynthia Chartier Passage de Temps Estimated Retail Value: $3,800 Cynthia Chartier was born in Boston, Massachusetts and began her formal education at the Notre Dame Art School when she was eight years old. She studied in Europe during the summer months, and continued her education in painting and fine art at the Boston Museum School, The Monseratt School of Visual Art and the Norton Museum School of Art. In 2005, the Jesuit Dallas Museum selected Cynthia as their "Artist of the Year." Cynthia Chartier has had numerous one-woman shows and is represented in fine art collections throughout the country. Chartier’s style mirrors her passion for life, spirituality, music and love. She combines rich jewel tones of vibrant color with hand-selected sheet music and manuscripts, painting layer upon layer of rich color and glaze. The multiple layers build up to create a prism-like effect adding subtle dimensions of chromatic symbolism for the viewer’s discovery. Working in the reflectionist school of art, her work mirrors her life and the world in which she lives. Each painting is created with the intent of capturing a specific moment or story with which she resonates. Her paintings are a multidimensional odyssey of color ranging from abstract expressionistic works to lyrical figurative works. Cynthia Chartier has spent her life pursuing her visual vision and in the process has become one of our contemporary masters. Her work is timeless, and it will remain so. It is art that truly fills the spirit and makes the heart sing. She currently lives in Dallas, Texas. |
