Between intimacy and fantasy, Emilie Marie weaves a dialogue and draws her language in aquatic, mineral, celestial or vegetal shapes and nuances. These artworks connect in a sensitive way some mixed energies, which find their balance between turmoil and ecstasy. 

 

Emilie Marie’s paintings make her emotional passions emerge, the ones that happen when skins touch and when the magic occurs, when the silky bodies infuse each other, and desires merge together like the sun and the sea at dawn. Almost impenetrable areas, hard like rock, come to flirt with clear ones, smooth parts that always bring light. These two resist each other, brush past each other before reaching harmony, and in a sensual movement ; they float, ramify, draw each other, root through each other. 

 

The artist’s gestures are always pure as they are directly connected to her deepest emotions and to her carnal memory; On free canvases or sheers, she spreads on the floor in danced, curved and instinctive movements. Between ethereal caresses and volcanic intensity, the brush strokes imbued with both passion and tenderness, pour inks, acrylics and shimmery shades giving life to these vibrant moments. In this metaphorical language, Emilie Marie transcends the lovers’ feelings who, under the celestial vault, secretly attract each other and unite in silence, until the sunrises again.
