Bubbles-Triptyque sur plexiglas Painting by Muriel Matt

Muriel MATT is a French self-taught artist born in 1976, whose work is profoundly rooted in the world of childhood. She embodies the motto "Painting the soul, embracing life," inviting viewers to reconnect with their inner child—the part of us that embraces existence with wonder and curiosity. Through her art, MATT encourages individuals to marvel at the world around them and to be open to the surprises life has to offer.

Her paintings evoke buried childhood memories, capturing their brilliance and inviting introspection. Each artwork serves as a mirror reflecting the child's essence that resides within all of us, enabling viewers to rediscover a sense of candor and simplicity. MATT believes that the marvelous can be found in the ordinary—whether it be a purring cat, a fragrant flower, the warmth of the sun, or the joy of a contagious smile. Her canvases present opportunities to convey this message, creating an ode to a life lived without artifice.

Characterized by naive graphics animated by vibrant colors, her works also showcase relief that brings her characters to life, emphasizing their expressions. While united by a strong stylistic kinship, her canvases display a remarkable diversity, where a shimmering harmony resonates powerfully throughout.

MATT's refined creations explore femininity, highlighting the softness, vulnerability, and mystery inherent in every woman. Her minimalist approach is defined by the principle of "less is more," as exemplified in her female portraits and reimagined Venuses. Through a careful interplay of thick and thin strokes, she achieves a sense of sobriety that accentuates the beauty of simplicity, allowing the essence of her subjects to shine.
