Ecrin de verdure (2017) Painting by Meryl

Fascinated since childhood by the emotional effect that art has on our daily lives, Meryl has always been amazed by the expressive power of color.

This is how she trained over the years in different techniques: watercolor, pastels, sketches of live models and especially oil and acrylic. After being a student of a renowned painter from Nantes, she completed her experience with training at the Beaux-Arts in Nantes and was an active member of artistic associations for a long time.
Oil was, for her, the reference; she was enriched by this medium, and kept its sense of rigor and observation. She also likes acrylic, which brings her spontaneity and particularly contemporary expression.

Her pictorial universe is above all the search for a colorful and luminous harmony.

Various creative periods have followed one another, whether it is the use of mixed techniques with the construction of paintings from collages of her own photos taken from her travels or even abstraction, responding to the undisguised desire to give free rein to her imagination.

The woman has also often been at the heart of her painting, especially the face as a vector of the deep self, the one that characterizes our states of mind and interiority. Her expression, her gestures and her plural beauty are then put in the spotlight, and the portrait is treated in a pop art way, for a resolutely contemporary but also timeless graphic language.

Currently, most of her works speak of nature. In love with the infinite beauty of the landscapes of our earth, she likes to freeze the magic of a moment, through a framing, a composition. Nature is for her a wonderful source of inspiration. The region in which she currently lives, the south of France, inspires her intensely.

After a career very far from the world of art, she decided, with passion and conviction, to devote herself, fully and entirely to artistic creation. From now on, she works according to her inspiration; Each new project must be a source of inner joy and invite the viewer to escape and forget the torments of everyday life.

She wants to make us dream... and enhance our vision of the world.
