Claude Monet - Giverny Art Collection

Claude Monet-Inspired Paintings and the story behind it

Welcome to a dreamlike collection born from a lifelong connection to French Impressionism. Growing up in Normandy, my journey as an artist began at eleven years old during a childhood visit to Claude Monet’s home and gardens in Giverny.

 

Returning to those grounds years later reignited that spark, inspiring this series of original oil paintings.

 

Exploring shimmering nympheas, floating water lilies, soft garden blooms, and dancing light, these artworks offer an invitation to slow down, honor nature's poetry, and find a serene sanctuary within your home.

The Story behind the Inspiration

In 2020, I returned to Giverny, carrying years of self-doubt and a dream I had almost stopped believing in. As I wandered through Monet’s garden once more, something awakened within me: the wonder I had felt as a child, and the longing to paint the beauty that moved me.

​

Standing among the flowers, the shimmering pond and the luminous colours, I began to reconnect with myself — with the woman I was, the artist I longed to become, and the courage to believe in that dream again.

​

This series was born from that rediscovery. Guided by the spirit of Monet, yet finding my own voice, I painted soft blooms, dancing light and dreamlike colours as an expression of hope, renewal and the quiet bravery of beginning again.

​

Each painting holds a little piece of that journey: a reminder that it is never too late to return to yourself, to follow your dreams and to believe in who you can become.

 

This series is still slowly unfolding, with new paintings finding their way into the world. Save this page and come back from time to time to discover what grows next.

"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.

"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".

"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.

"A Soft Place to Land"
oil painting

The special piece of my Claude Monet garden serie is an hommage to the beauty of Giverny.

​

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.
