The following tips are for collectors looking for a special piece of artwork and artists who are thinking of doing commissions. 1. Get to know each other a little bit before starting to talk about the commissioned artwork itself. Do you feel a good vibe and genuine...

I haven’t been active on my blog this year. Somehow there were more important things going on in the world and in my life. I would like to make good today in this blog and will give you the highlights of the last ten months! Starting 2020 strong! 2020...

I’m feeling particularly grateful to my friends and family for their relentless support and encouragements! My dear artist friend Frédérique helped me make the final choice of paintings to exhibit at the gallery Galeríeka in Hamburg as I was agonizing over which ones...

This blog post is the last part of my blog series Behind the Scenes started in February 2018. Find out more on the previous posts here. I’m doing this to inspired budding artists to set up their creative space and to inform art-lovers and collectors who wonder what it...

This video is a documentation of my live painting performance at the Bal de l‘Amitié Franco-Allemande of Hambourg Accueil where I had the honor and great pleasure to paint live on 24 March 2018 at the beautiful Atlantic Hotel Kempinski of Hamburg. My paintings...

Feeling the Light – my artist statement I’m so eager to share this with you: the video about the essence of my art. It has subtitles in English and closed captions in French and German. Here‘s word for word what I’m saying in the interview: “I am Mathilde Berry....

My Dream Series started early on without me realising it. It’s only by looking back at over 130 paintings since 2015 that I noticed a flow of Dream paintings and decided to dedicate a series to this theme. Rêve Inca is one of them. A lot of my Dream paintings are...

After a relatively dark but healing period during which my paintings #33 to #37 came to life (click here if you want to read more), a new wave of creativity started in my life in February 2016. Out of this came out the first layer of my painting #38 which I initially...

This particular painting has had a deeply healing impact on me. Painting „Plus jamais ça“ („Never again“) brought up a lot of pain to the surface which I had tried to keep buried inside of me for a long time. After painting my previous painting „Souffrance“...

„Souffrance“ („Suffering“) is another painting that helped me access some deep emotions and make truly visible that not everything in my life was light and love but also darkness and pain. I avoided feeling a lot of my own pain for a long time and kept „busy“ instead,...

It took me a while to accept this painting in my life. I hid it for a long time from public view and did not display it on my website either. This painting was truly a healing experience for me, very intimate as well. One day, I took all the courage that I could...

I started this painting while listening to a recording of an online course by Lisa Schrader, my mentor of the course “Awakening Shakti”. Lisa had a beautiful New Year meditation which I listened to in the background as I was painting and setting intentions for the...

I started this particular painting “Wounded soul” during the traditional Christmas break, where time slows down, at least for me. I’d been deeply affected in my soul by the terrorist attack on the French concert hall The Bataclan in November 2015, particularly as a...
by Mathilde Berry | Nov 26, 2017 | 2016 paintings, Healer Series, My paintings, Painting and Healing
The following five paintings are at the heart of my Healer painting series. As I wrote in my blog post Painting and Healing, the five paintings below revealed consciously to me how healing (my) art could be. I started them between the traditional Christmas break of...
by Mathilde Berry | Nov 25, 2017 | My paintings, The colours of my life
This 7-part series on my blog covers the colours of my life, or more precisely of my childhood memories, a great source of inspiration for my art. You’ll find more posts from that series on this page. OK, so let’s start with an awkward teenager moment, wearing a...

So, I’ve tried something that I haven’t done before: to do a time-lapse video with a voice over of my process on a painting which I started early November and just finished last weekend… I’d love to hear your...

This is a tough post for me to write, but a very important one. I have put it off for a very long time because I did not feel ready, because I was not stable enough mentally and emotionally to write it. Why? Because… Until the year 2017, “ghosts from the past”...

I started this painting during a cold grey December day and I felt pretty much uninspired. I let go of any expectations about making a “pretty” painting which were creeping up and instead I started to experiment which more use of gold and black and white after a very...
