Born in January 1972, ARemy is a painter whose canvases can be defined by colour, the movement, light, but above all the poetry that emerges from them.
ARemy spent her childhood and adolescence divided between Europe, France where she is from, Africa and South America, then the United States. Travels and landscapes engraved in her mind that permeate her painting.
Initially, nothing predestined this lawyer to end her career to devote herself to painting. Although has intrigued and attracted by this universe, she had to wait until 2001 to dare to venture there and paint her first canvas.
It is a revelation. This extremely strong impression felt the first time while spreading the paint with a knife and the desire to prolong this pleasure by making abstract landscapes emerge from a blank canvas pushes her to fully live her desire to create and to never leave her brushes.
Self-taught, she learns on her own. She follows her instinct and her desires and paints in complete freedom without worrying about academic rules that could hinder her creativity.
Far from the only aesthetic research, ARemy considers a canvas as a receptacle of emotions, those of the spectator but also those of the artist. Inspired by nature and its play of lights, all the shapes, lines, colors that surround us and mingle with each other, she seeks to transcribe the emotions that emerge from them. Furtive emotions that manifest and overlap in her painting and give all their depth and strength to her paintings.
When she starts a canvas, she doesn't know what it will look like when finished.
On large formats allowing an overflowing and limitless means of expression, in a succession of layers, the colors come and go, are superimposed, disappear in part, definitively or momentarily. The material, generally worked with a knife, is stretched, scraped, caressed, in broad and energetic or light and tiny movements, to create contrasts, transparencies, shapes ... until arriving at a rare moment when harmony and balance come together .
" Each canvas starts from a desire for color linked to time, to a mood, to a meeting ... I am looking for spaces, from which emerge emotion, seriousness but also recklessness, spontaneity ... A perpetual quest for poetry, lightness and light. "
