Original painting of a Man In a Snowy Winter Setting

Ships from France and ready to hang

This painting of a man captures a powerful moment of tranquility amid turmoil. Depicting a man standing firmly in a snowstorm, this piece explores the theme of finding inner calm when the world shifts around you. The textured brushstrokes and muted palette deepen the sense of resilience and stillness. An exceptional work for discerning collectors, it invites contemplation and adds profound emotional depth to your chalet space.

Karen Griffiths

The British artist Karen Griffiths, who has been living in Morzine for 20 years, creates sensitive and delicate works inspired by her travels and the mountains.

Karen’s paintings show her magical connection with the world around her. Her paintings are richly textured and she often, so delicately, embellishes the painted canvas with pencil touches. Fascinated by the ever-changing seasons, she particularly loves winter and its many shades of white.

The silence and the white cloak that softens contours inspire her delicate palette of colours, a mix of abstraction and figurative, blurred landscapes, carved by ski tracks, scratchy ski lifts or a few ghostly spruce trees. Pink-grey, fuchsia yellow, or night blue, the mountains seem solitary and introspective… 

New works, inspired by her surroundings, now hang alongside intimate portraits of children and old people with intense expressions, taken from her travel sketches. Whether faces or landscapes, her works always suggest an emotion or a moment captured in time.
