Claude Monet - Giverny Art Collection
by Naïma Namaste
Inspired by Claude Monet:
A Floral Journey Through Giverny and Beyond
My love for Claude Monet began in childhood, when I visited his garden and home in Giverny with my school.
Born in Normandie myself, I felt an immediate connection to his world... the soft beauty of the place, the flowers, the quiet of the lily pond, the dream of painting nature as a way of life.
Years later, it was this memory that led me back to painting. In 2017, I began by recreating some of Monet’s works, not as a copyist, but as a woman rediscovering her voice through brushstrokes.
Today, this new collection is a tribute, to Monet, to the garden that awakened something deep in me, and to the timeless beauty of nature in bloom. I hope this serie will enchant you and inspire you daily.

Giverny Garden inspiration
acrylic paintings
2017 - 2019
As a little girl growing up in Normandie, I visited Claude Monet’s home and garden in Giverny with my school.
I remember standing among the flowers, watching the light dance on the pond, and feeling a quiet certainty: one day, I would become a painter.
Years passed. I didn’t go to art school or follow the “proper” path...
But in 2017, I finally listened to the voice within me.
I picked up a brush, poured some acrylic paint, and began to reproduce some of my Monet’s favorite artwork...not for anyone else, just for me. To prove that I could. To reclaim a dream.
It was my way of stepping into the world of painting...one brushstroke at a time.

The Story behind the Inspiration
In 2020, I returned to Giverny as an artist...no longer the dreaming child, but a woman shaped by years of painting and living with nature as my muse.
Wandering again through Monet’s garden, I felt a familiar peace, but also something new: the urge to express this place not through imitation, but through my own eyes.
In this new series, I’ve let the spirit of Monet guide me while painting with my own voice...soft blooms, luminous light, and colors that speak of reverie and renewal.
These works are filled with passion and a desire to share the beauty of this place that still inspires so many of us.
Each canvas carries a piece of Giverny,
seen through the lens of my own story.
"Claude Monet's garden:
Reflets dans l'eau"
oil painting
This is the first painting in my new 2025 series inspired by Claude Monet’s water garden.
I created it from one of the photos I took during my visit in July 2020.
Reflets dans l'eau captures the quiet beauty of the gardens and one of my favorite things watching the sky and light dance upon the water.

"Claude Monet's garden:
Dream in Flowers"
oil painting
This is the second painting in the series, inspired by a photo I captured in the garden.
I was spellbound by the opera-pink flowers resting by the water, so delicate, so alive.
I lost myself in their quiet beauty, watching them sway gently, as if floating between air and dream.
This painting is like a close up of the previous one titled "Reflets dans l'eau".

"Claude Monet's garden:
Eternal Grace"
oil painting
This is the third painting of the serie.
A swan glides over deep blue waters, surrounded by abstract waterlilies that seem to float between water and sky.
I felt the circular shape gives the piece a feeling of infinity like time pausing in nature’s rhythm.
It captures the serenity I felt by Monet’s pond, where nympheas drift softly and the world falls silent for a moment.
This painting invites you to pause, breathe, and return to nature’s timeless cycles.

"Where I find my Peace"
oil painting
This is the fourth painting in the serie, inspired by a photo I captured in the garden.
"The world blooms where we allow ourselves to soften"
In Monet’s garden, I felt a quiet peace. That day, while painting, I slowed down, letting the stillness guide me back to beauty, to softness, and to the tenderness of my own heart.
I was drawn to capture the fog and paint the silence of this magical place.

"Claude Monet's garden:
A Soft Place to Land"
oil painting
The special piece of my Claude Monet garden serie is an hommage to the beauty of nature.
This painting feels like a myriad of little treasures.
The bridge, to me, reflects the openness and love we are called to keep in our hearts…
The nympheas, with their waterlilies, remind us that even from the depths of darkness, we can always rise.
The little house is a miniature of Claude Monet’s home in Argenteuil, a quiet homage to his world.
And if you look closely, you’ll find collaged butterflies, tiny messengers of wonder...because to me, they are like little angels, whispering to us never to forget the magic in our lives.

"Go with the Slow"
oil painting
This is the sixth painting in the serie, inspired by a photo I captured in the garden.
"Go with the slow" title was inspired by the feeling I felt when looking at the weeping willow. It was peaceful and romantic and invited me to slow down, enjoy this moment of serenity.

This series is a love letter to Giverny, to the soft poetry of nature, and to the dream that Claude Monet sparked in me as a child.
Each painting holds a piece of that wonder I felt walking through his garden, surrounded by blossoms, reflections, and the quiet magic that lingers in the air.
Through my own eyes and brushes, I’ve painted not only flowers and water, but the feeling of being there... the joy, the stillness, the inspiration that flows in every petal and every ray of light.
If you, too, have felt moved by Monet’s world... if you’ve wandered his garden or dreamed of doing so ... I invite you to bring a piece of that beauty into your home.
These paintings were made with love, and perhaps one of them is meant for you.
