Original artwork.

In Terre à bonheur / Les hautes gorges, Claudine Dontigny brings us into the heart of the Hautes-Gorges de Charlevoix, near Baie-Saint-Paul, through a vibrant landscape where nature seems to breathe through colour. Mountains, water and forest come together in a luminous, almost musical composition, where deep blues, vivid greens and warm orange accents express the living strength of the land.

True to her artistic approach, Dontigny does not simply depict a place; she reveals its inner energy. Texture, movement and contrast give the landscape a presence that feels both majestic and intimate, as though each burst of light carried an emotion. The work reflects the poetic connection to nature that defines her practice, where water, stone and wide-open spaces become places of contemplation, memory and wonder.
