Sophie Dumont is a French contemporary painter based in Normandy, known for her deeply layered oil paintings that explore memory, landscape, and the architecture of thought. Working exclusively with oil, often applied with a knife, she builds her surfaces through successive strata, allowing time, gesture, and erosion to remain visible in the final work. Her paintings are held in private and institutional collections in Europe and the United States.
In Between Two Silences, Sophie Dumont creates a meditative abstract landscape suspended between light and density. Horizontal bands of soft greys, pale blues, mineral whites and muted ochres unfold across the surface like distant horizons, evoking the quiet rhythm of sea and land without ever becoming literal. The composition breathes through its layered structure: each stratum appears both deposited and eroded, as if shaped by time rather than by the hand alone.
The upper portion of the painting opens into a pale, luminous atmosphere, while the lower bands deepen into cooler blues and warm earth tones. This slow transition from light to weight gives the work a contemplative gravity. The painting does not seek drama, but rather presence — a sensation of stillness held between two moments, two breaths, two silences.
Dumont’s distinctive use of the palette knife leaves subtle ridges, scraped areas, and veils of pigment that catch the light differently as the viewer moves. These textures create a tactile depth that anchors the composition, making the surface feel both fragile and enduring.
Between Two Silences is an intimate work that invites quiet attention. It functions as both a landscape and a state of mind — a space where perception slows and the eye is free to wander through layers of memory, color, and time.
