Dora Patin

Dora Patin is a representational oil painter specializing in still life, particularly in the trompe l’oeil tradition. This style perfectly complements her love of close-up compositions that allow for intimate and detailed exploration of her subjects. In addition to her meticulous trompe l’oeil pieces, Dora embraces the spontaneity of alla prima painting, a method that contrasts with the detailed, time-intensive trompe l’oeil. These one-session paintings not only provide a dynamic contrast but also serve as a powerful learning tool, forcing quick decision-making and deliberate choices. This allows her to experiment freely and to grow as an artist. This dual approach enables her to embrace both precision and spontaneity in her artistic expression. Dora’s work has been recognized in juried exhibitions, earning multiple awards for its excellence.
