Bio: Marie-Amélie Chéreau is a multifaceted contemporary artist and author. Initially forging a career in the business world, holding high-level positions in the international luxury goods industry, a devastating burnout in 2014 marked a crucial turning point. This ordeal prompted her to reinvent herself and rediscover her childhood talents and passions: art and writing.
What truly sets Marie-Amélie Chéreau apart is her ability to materialize the invisible. Each oil painting is a meditation on unity within diversity, on the infinite encapsulated in the finite.
Throughout her creative process, elements - be they angels, animals, faces, or even a simple gaze - emerge spontaneously, as if guided by a higher force. Her creative process oscillates between impulsivity, when she uses her palette knife to sculpt thick and dynamic textures, and concentration, as she traces repetitive lines with her brush in pursuit of perfection, integrity, and power.
Her artistic approach deeply explores the very essence of duality and union, embodying these themes even in the materiality of her work. The transition from darkness to light, a guiding thread in her production, echoes her own journey of healing and resil-ience. Thus, her works offer the viewer much more than an aesthetic experience; they invite deep reflection on love, spirituality, and the human condition, while allowing one to feel the positive and regenerative energy each painting holds.
