Your works evoke the emotion of contemplating those of Zao Wou Ki, who remains the only painter whose paintings brought tears to my eyes… I didn’t think it was possible; it’s unforgettable.

Pierre von Meiss


Professeur emeritus de l'EPFL- projet d’améliorer les parking sous-terrains - 
2008

Regarding “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea “… Indeed, your work holds the potential to evoke a dreamlike world, capable of enhancing human life underground, without denying it.

Dr. Gérald d’Andiran

Médecin à Genève

I was very impressed and moved to discover your magnificent creations yesterday. I remember the wonderful exhibition at the Salons… Your imagination never runs dry, nor do the superb impressions one gets from your works. What spaces, what a suggestive narrative…

Jean ROLL

Peintre – Mon professeur de Peinture à l’Ecole des Arts décoratifs de Gen 1962-65

Magnificent! …Newness, freshness, the freshness of newness… the purity of inspired geometry that takes nothing away from life. An original, abundant life, yet one that passes through the rigorous filter of reason; yet which nevertheless overflows on all sides with color.

Dr. Jürg R. Bernet

Managing Director, EURO Institute of Real Estate Management, Zoug (Switzerland) and Cologne (Germany); Member of the Board, Swiss Real Estate Index SRX  2007

My passion is strategic investment advisory in real estate.

Magnificent! Impressive!

The architecture is remarkably harmonious, and the harmony of colors is striking.

The work is powerful. It must be made known.

Prof. Philippe Leuenberger

Pneumologie - CHUV - Lausanne – 2008

Catherine de Saugy’s art viscerally strikes the viewer, whether male or female, because it intrinsically embodies both genders. With its rectilinear lines pointing to the horizon, her art is masculine; with its rounded forms, it evokes feminine beauty in all its fullness.

Général Michel Nielly

Correspondant - 2006 - LE PROGRES – Lyon - France

As part of the Festival of Light in Lyon, Catherine de Saugy is exhibiting some of her works…. the power of the colors is tempered by the fluidity of the forms translating the movement, but everything is constructed from geometric rules that she imposes on herself. …. a very personal invitation to dreams.

Elizabeth Auzan

Galeriste, collectionneur, coach 2006


Discovering Catherine de Saugy’s work, we are first struck by the movement, power, and balance, then by a calculated precariousness and the profusion of deep colors in his very large paintings. It represents her intimate vision of the world around her, but the experience is universal. Everyone brings their own insights and enriches the work through their own eyes. We breathe in this whirlwind because the artist creates spaces, silences from which we can better contemplate these stratospheric winds.

Odile Habel

Journaliste Publication ParisMatch- Marie Claire Suisse – 2006

Through her works, this cosmopolitan artist explores new artistic paths… strong but fluid and light works, always in movement, almost impalpable.

Chantal Anne Jacot

Journaliste CIG’ART Magazine – Suisse - 2007

D’une technique qui émane de l’alchimie du traditionnel familier et des techniques contemporaines émergent des oeuvres d’une luminosité étincelante.

Danielle Collomb

Journaliste - La COTE – Suisse - 2006

From an alchemist’s recipe subtly blending traditional with contemporary techniques arise powerful works of scintillating luminosity.

Michael Green

Journaliste Freelance - 1999

The works of Catherine de Saugy … are not things but meanings, that is to say the very substance of things, that part of them that remains imprisoned in our soul and feeds its evocative power and creative energy.

Franco Monteforte

Critique d’art et écrivain - 2000

It seems to me that Saugy’s well-branched roots reach into the sky. In his works there is fire, dream, energy, storm and dull pain, passion and tenderness, everything that the sky promises in its immensity.

Jeremy Sedley

Executive Editor NEW ART INTERNATIONAL - 1998

The presence of Catherine de Saugy’s work in our book contributes the outstanding strength of her atmospheric settings, colour sense and exquisite feel for compelling composition.

Edmond Laznikas

Critique d’art - 
La VOIX des CADRES – France – Magazine - 1998

Catherine de Saugy, a painter from the 3rd millennium, recreates constructions imbued with enigmatic beauty, rigor, firmness, … which invite us to seek the codes of this universe ….

Claude Richoz

Ecrivain – critique d’art – journaliste - 1997

Catherine de Saugy succeeds in disorienting us in her imaginary, enchanting world where we lose our footing ans tumble headlong into dream.

Jean-Claude Vérité

Vice President PERFORMANCE INVEST, Inc. - 1995

In my previous responsibility, acting as counsel in architecture for public buildings, I had many opportunities to work with artists. I must say that Ms de Saugy demonstrates unique skills of rendering paintings of strength, poesy and depth with an exceptional sensitivity and understanding to the surrounding project. Her work is notable for its visionary composure. 

Julio Villaràn

DIARIO de HOY – San Salvador – 1996

Pentagrama de colores, Catherine de Saugy posee la virtud de ejecutar bellas melodias con sus pinceles. Uno pierde la mirada en el fondo de sus pinturas … es que uno se està sumergiendo en su proprio ser, descubriendo nuevos estados de liberacion.

Arnold Pfeffer

Executive Director MERCY Foundation - Mercy Hospital Coral Gables - Miami - 1995

Catherine de Saugy possesses a unique skill of rendering paintings of strength and poise, sensitivity and depth. We have received many glowing comments from the patients and visitors who have seen her beautiful work of art displayed in our Surgical Lobby. 

Editor Arnold White

Winner’s Circle - 1994

Catherine de Saugy’s imaginative and spirited personality is clearly express in her art. Her surrealistic paintings translate her sense of space and search for an inner world of peace and freedom.

Vivian Scaramiglia

Journaliste MARIE CLAIRE Magazine - 1997

Catherine de Saugy paints in great upheaval, the loss of direction, the rebirth, the unknown, with insolence, colors, a rigor of composition … and silences like the work of Satie. To see because the work is astonishing with its ability to deliver on the same level, fantasy, visions and what we call reality.

Frank Soler

Editor MIAMI MENSUAL – USA - 1993

In Catherine de Saugy’s works, the search for inner beauty and the meaning of life transcends the tumultuous influence of the times in which we live.
