About Ambre Kalene
Born in Paris of a Swiss father and a gypsy mother, Ambre Kalène painted and exhibited since 1986 in numerous art galleries in France and Switzerland, as well as with various artist collectives. After a non-figurative period, she takes the path of the figurative first in order to ask a question: "What makes us?". The portraits, representing the innate, appear in part, in order to leave room for the background of the work which represents the acquired. Today, she wants to lead the viewer to ask questions about his environment, about human behavior, often incoherent, in the face of animal consistency.

Exhibitions
1986 to 1990 :
She exhibited watercolors at the Trinité Gallery (Lyon – France). Her work is at first very figurative. What inspires her in this work is how flat and uniform paper is born, volume and light. These are often very worked details in the middle of the page. Then she begins to work watercolor on soggy papers fixed on a glass plate to keep them as long as possible wet. She gets misty landscapes of Dombes (submerged meadows near Lyon).
