At the age of 12, during a visit to London's Tate Gallery, Emmanuelle came across the first canvases that inspired her to start painting. She decided to follow the Beaux-arts workshops outside the school curriculum. After completing her baccalauréat in art, she entered the Beaux-arts.
She studied drawing, initially focusing on figurative painting. The ever-changing, capricious light of the Breton coast is a source of inspiration and desire. After painting from nature, then from photographs, she decided to give free rein to her imagination and trust in color and material alone. She moves definitively towards the abstract.

Emmanuelle, do you have a creative routine?
No, I don't really have a creative routine.
I go to my studio every day, so it's a daily job, but I don't have a time when I have to be there.
Do you think the art world looks at women differently?
Yes, I get the impression that there's been an evolution in the history of art.
There are a lot of female figures and proposals in the galleries. When you look at the history of the
twentieth century, it's good because it's true that women were fairly little represented.
I think we're on the move, and I feel it very strongly.
If you could share a dinner with any artist (dead or alive),
who would it be and why?
Van Gogh, because I have a kind of crazy admiration for him.
His letters are magnificent, he's a completely sensitive person and he's still completely mysterious.
They were the first canvases that I loved and that made me paint. I love his relationship with color
and nature. I would have loved to have met him.

Do you have a superpower?
A superpower? To extract myself from the world by painting, that's great.
Sometimes, if something hurts me or if I'm a bit sad, I have this ability to lock myself away in my
painting. That's when I renew myself and emerge transformed. It's really nice.
Do you have any advice for the “you” of the past who's taken up painting?
To be a little more self-confident and to realize that, in any case, there are a lot of things you can't
choose. That you have to be true to yourself and not worry about the way others look at you.
Because it's not important, what's important is what you give.
A quote you like to end with?
It's not an exact quote, but I recently saw a video I liked where Louise Bourgoin, the actress, said
“if you want to be happy, don't worry about your reputation”.
