About

For FAM, painting is a way of writing her inner self, somewhere between the earthly and the unreal.

After scientific studies, a master’s degree in information and decision systems followed by two years of doctoral research in computer science at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, FAM turned to painting, self-taught. Her first influences were Johannes Vermeer, René Magritte and Salvador Dalí.

Fascinated by the expression of a gaze and the movement of bodies, she tries to convey the emotion and strength they give off. The figures she paints are her representatives in our world: they come from her heart, reach out to us and tell us about her.

Oil, watercolour, drawing, digital collage: she explores psychological states, beauty, identity, the body, gender, doctrines and cognitive biases, social issues, time and technology. Convinced that beauty has many dimensions, she sets out to reveal its hidden layers and to make visible what is not, such as human relationships read through body language.

She leaves viewers free to find in it a share of reality, imagination or memory. Her aim is to question rather than to judge.
