To understand the work of Claire Decet, the viewer must recognize its consistency. Beyond the strong appeal of her meticulous and thorough oil painting technique, inspired by the classical fields of painting, her subjects are systematically varied. The serial nature of her motifs, whose colors alone change, like the color variations in a prickly pear, has a noticeable effect on perception. These paintings are accompanied by palette-paintings in the same color range.
Blurrier and without technique, they emphasize the importance of the paint itself, which can be interpreted as an escape route, a space for the eye to see freely, or a tendency toward abstraction.

"La pratique, lente et laborieuse rend au temps sa force de cohésion dans l’élaboration de l’oeuvre. C’est une tranquille opposition au rythme effréné du monde. Les oeuvres colorées, soignées et d’apparence lisse dévoilent toute la fragilité de nos sociétés."
