nYMPHEUS lUMINANSIS, the Water Lilies of Light

“10 PAINTINGS, 10 ATMOSPHERES, THE PROJECT OF A LIFETIME, A TRIBUTE TO CLAUDE MONET,
A HYMN TO COLOR AND LIGHT”

Nympheus Luminansis is a major artistic project conceived and created by Laurence Saunois, an acclaimed contemporary and wildlife painter. Inspired by the work of Claude Monet, the artist offers through this series a modern and luminous reinterpretation of one of the most emblematic themes in the history of painting.

Ten Original Paintings – A Tribute to Light
Comprising ten original oil paintings, the Nympheus Luminansis series explores the profound relationship between color and light. Each canvas is conceived as a distinct atmosphere, a chromatic variation where the painted surface becomes the meeting point between reality and perception.
This cycle of paintings highlights Laurence Saunois’s technical mastery, renowned for the precision of her brushwork and the subtlety of her tonal transitions, while inviting reflection on the nature of light and its ability to awaken emotion.

Between Heritage and Contemporary Creation
Through Nympheus Luminansis, Laurence Saunois continues the legacy of the great Impressionist masters while asserting a personal pictorial language rooted in realism and sensitivity.
Far from a simple reinterpretation, each painting becomes a meditation on color — an homage to painting itself, to its history, and to its enduring power of evocation.

An Artistic and Cultural Project
Developed over several years of research, this body of work now stands as one of the most representative series of Laurence Saunois’s artistic journey.
Nympheus Luminansis emerges as a bridge between nature, memory, and contemporary creation — a tribute to the timeless beauty of water lilies and to light as the very essence of painting.
