Hana Gauer

Hello,
I am a French-Czech visual artist currently living in Paris and also in Picardie and Prague.
After twenty years living behind the Iron Curtain, I have built my life in exile in France as an uprooted but free woman.
Polyglot, with a university education ranging from linguistics to marketing, a former communication expert, e-commerce entrepreneur, I have turned the page at 50 to devote myself to an artistic career.
The struggle for liberty and the refusal of propaganda are the two pillars of my experience.

Why does my recent artworks focus on the body?
Each body is like an endless exotic world to explore, and no human shape can totally seal nor unveil what is inside.
How relevant is our first impression compared to a deeper immersion in somebody’s life?

Our accomplishments, our roots and wounds, our delights or fears are encrypted in our anatomy and faces.
My objective is to capture a part of this intrinsic and hidden identity.

For me, any body is a messenger of people hidden singularity.

My solid creative training at the Martenot school, at Paris Academy of Fine Arts, at Lunain and Artgraph workshops or even at the famous Atelier la Grande Chaumière allows me to use various graphic expressions.

My artwork is visible in some prived collections and in Atelier Lunain Exibition (2018, 2019, 2020).
