Christine Pultz, Source de Lumière, 2022, Oil on Canvas

Oil on canvas Christine Pultz is a French animal painter born in 1953 who lives & works in Pontault-Combault, France. Through her passion for painting animals, especially feline portraits, Christine Pultz feels that her focus on each hair, each claw, each reflection in the eyes of the animals she paints shows her desire to make them immortal. She adds: « I know that today, polar bears, tigers, lynxes, and snow panthers…but also Beluga whales, golden eagles, chimpanzee, red squirrels, bees, and many other species…risk extinction. That is why I hope that the animals I have portrayed, or will paint in the future , might open a sense of responsibility in the hearts of certain people. Animal art must continue as long as mankind exists to shine a light on those animals that may no longer survive ».
