There is the world, restless, and there is what remains within us. Le calme et l'éclat explores that intimate presence: a joy that doesn't depend on the weather, the news or the noise around us, and that we choose to nurture, day after day.

In this collection, created on site in the garden and the lights of La Pagerie, Carole Aurore paints through instinctive gestures, with no plan and no turning back. Backgrounds in motion, at times stormy, welcome flashes of colour that hold their ground. Calm is not the absence of a storm: it is the fixed point from which we look. Radiance is not a firework: it is a light we keep on.

What stays lit in me, whatever happens?

Each work invites the same simple, joyful question

Artist residency

Over several days, Carole Aurore lived and worked at the hotel, creating the collection on site between the rooms and the tropical garden.

Martinique

For more than 20 years, Carole Aurore has created in the moment, guided by intuition and a form of automatic language inspired by ancient graphic signs. She does not draw or plan: her gesture is immediate, precise and irreversible.

Her work explores three dimensions: Joy, as a space of freedom carried by colour and form; Introspection, as a mirror inviting us to reconnect with our inner child and our sovereignty; and Intuition, the foundation of a deeply instinctive and energetic practice.

From canvas to walls and objects, and through international collaborations, her artistic language has spread across four continents, notably through collaborations with Porsche and Neisson Rhum. Presented in Paris, New York and at several international events, her work asserts a singular vision: that of an authentic art able to dialogue with brands and reach a wide audience without losing its integrity.
