Bergeron’s artworks will be exhibited this year at Hambourg, Germany, Chicago, Miami and New York City. She is represented by Artêria gallery: www.arteriagallery.com and Carré d'artistes: www.carredartistes.com STATEMENT My artistic work stems from an intimate and subjective relationship tied into the notion of identity and integration. Precisely, I am interested in producing images that reveal the mother child condition and sentiments. I’m immersed in the overall concepts of transformation and metamorphosis- the elements from a body’s embryonic state through birth and their changeable capabilities. The interaction and alteration with nature’s natural life force that which transcends all logic, pushes me to create an imaginary universe, a space where the multiplicity of motion acts like a renewed mantra - it grows into a spiritual quest and absolute introspection and it sets me on a journey of authenticity and truth.
