Welcome to the west wing... MANOIЯ welcomes Camille Haegl under its roof. Here you will find her luminously dark work.

"Daughter of fire, I have often experienced its excesses: passion/impatience. But the controlled fire of a candle flame also brings clarity, warmth, and hope. Painting is about learning temperance, because every stroke counts and you cannot go back."

As a former art history student, painting is a part of my life: I love to look at it, study it, and paint myself. Having the opportunity to showcase my work in this gallery is a joy and a privilege. Enjoy your visit!

"Candles like ghosts whose bodies disappear into the night"

Each painting is unique, dated, and signed.

There will be no prints or series.

"A Window to the Past"

Painting in the manner of the Old Masters, still lifes, and vanitas in chiaroscuro.

My palette is dark, but light is at the heart of the subject.

"Unique and tailor-made frames"

The paintings are sold framed and ready to hang in your home.

The choice of an antique frame is part of the overall subject.

The frames are sourced for you from flea markets. Left in their "original condition" or repainted.

They may therefore show some "imperfections" which contribute to their charm.

"Candles like ghosts whose bodies disappear into the night. Darkness falls and their glow reassures us. The melted wax becomes the Water that the Fire consumes. Yellow, orange and blue! They warm our hearts and delight our eyes."
