The hippopotamus in the background, symbolic and intentional, represents a silent, latent power. It reflects the sister's inner struggle, her ability to contain her emotions while exuding palpable strength. Both imposing and calm, the hippopotamus embodies her restraint. Its silent yet meaningful gaze also evokes the latent danger of repressed emotions and unresolved conflicts. This painting is inspired by reflections on family dynamics and the difficulty of navigating life-imposed relationships. Sibling bonds are often marked by love, rivalry, and moments of tension. Here, I wanted to capture a moment when teasing crosses the line from simple mockery to something deeper and more painful—a moment that leaves an indelible emotional imprint.

Clotilde Maillard was born in in 1960. Trained at the Académie Julian, where she perfected the artistic techniques of the time, with a predilection for drawing, under the direction of Roland Guillaumel, Grand Prix de Rome in sculpture, she then went to live two years in England, followed by more than a year in the United States, driven by the desire to discover new artistic perspectives and improve her English. Mother of three children, she was able to transmit to each of them her ion for art: one through social sciences and psychology, another towards architecture, and the youngest towards digital imaging. Today, she lives and works in Occitanie, in the south of .
Deeply convinced by the richness and infinite possibilities of pictorial representation, Clotilde Maillard explores a wide variety of s (canvas, wood, plexiglass, cardboard, paper, fabric, tapestry) and techniques (oil, tempera, acrylic, glycerol, ink, pastel, charcoal). She is interested in all artistic genres — portrait, landscape, live model, figurative abstraction, and many others. What guides her art, above all, is the reflection provoked by her environment. These reflections inspire mental images, some of which impose themselves as obvious, dictating her choices of dimensions, colors and context. ionate, she collects photographs, family films and samples of fabrics and colors to nourish and guide her creative process.
Clotilde Maillard is a member of the Dessiner le Vivant collective, a collective of artists committed to the representation of life in movement. Each member expresses this theme through their own techniques, whether it be painting, drawing, engraving or printing on fabric, and others. Together, they have explored various themes such as tango, contemporary dance or horses. For their tango project, they observed performances given by a professional dancing couple, first in person, then via Zoom during the pandemic. This collaboration culminated in a public performance where the artists drew and filmed the couple dancing live, thus inspiring a series of works dedicated to tango.
Clotilde Maillard also takes on commissions, which gives her a gentle adrenaline rush, and remains open to any artistic proposal. You can visit her website at any time and follow her on Instagram.
