On my way to you Painting

Marianne Simonin is a French artist who works mostly in oils and charcoals to explore symbolism and the female energy. Her inspiration comes from being mostly attuned to synchronicity and nature.  By connecting with the primordial elements her compositions move beyond landscape reproductions and seek to express emotions or states of mind. The act of walking in nature as one moves step by step along a path, and the awareness of one’s inner world has contributed to her new series on crossroads. I have drawn inspiration from the following artists: Uwe Wittwer (Swiss), Françoise Pétrovitch (French), Celia Paul (UK), Agnes Martin (USA) and Japanese art. My source of references stem from my archive of vintage and personal photos, songs, poems, and meditative states. I use the human figure as a thread to revive emotions and childhood memories, or to make a statement about women that I admire and see as symbols of female energy. My studio is currently in North West London surrounded by a beautiful park which helps me to remain connected with nature.
