Each work is a new story that I plot, a new world, timeless, placeless, nameless, an image detached from everything topical, an "innate" image.

Born to teacher parents, Anne traveled the world with them for much of her childhood. After returning to France to study economics and finance, she worked abroad for several years. On her return in 1997, she decided to take a course in decorative painting in Paris and began creating furniture and objets d'art. Established in the Hérault region since 2001, she recently opened her own studio in Pézenas, where she creates her pictorial works. The language of materials and freedom of execution are the driving forces behind her art.

Working from acrylic paints, Anne adds ink, pencil, pastels, charcoal and collages. This mix of techniques gives her works a unique character, which can be read as a patchwork of artistic languages dedicated to the creation of a new means of expression, a unique alphabet sketched day after day. Located in this fragile intermediate space between portrayal and abstraction, "at the limit between the felt and the lived, dream and reality, the visible and the invisible", Anne's paintings reflect her relationship with gestures and paper; the latter that she grasps as an expressive support which, devoted to being perpetually transformed, keeps the trace of all changes undergone.
