Michèle Guillot

Michèle Guillot is a contemporary French painter whose art is an exploration of emotions through color in abstract forms. With over two decades of experience in painting, Guillot's journey began as a self-taught artist before she refined her skills through drawing classes at the Ecole Supérieure d'Art et Design (ESAD) in Grenoble.

Acrylics are Michèle Guillot's main medium due to their fluidity, which allows her to express herself freely on the canvas. She uses a variety of tools and techniques, including brushes, spatulas, sponges, and even her hands, to create dynamic compositions that balance spontaneity and structural integrity. Her artistic process is guided by intuition, impressions, and inner visions, resulting in works marked by a sense of surprise and exploration. Alongside acrylic painting, she resumed oil painting in 2024.

Michèle Guillot's influences extend to a wide range of artistic luminaries, including Klimt, Kandinsky, Chagall, and De Kooning, among others. Her painting is a reflection of her deep emotions, imagination, and personal culture, drawing inspiration from the colors, shapes, and movements of the natural world. A colorist, Michèle Guillot delights in the infinite creative possibilities offered by acrylic texture and mixed media techniques, embracing the unexpected and the incomplete as integral aspects of her artistic output. She also enjoys expressing herself with black and white.

Since 2024, she has exhibited in Italy (Rome, Florence), the United States (New York), Belgium (Brussels), and in France at the Salon International d'Art Contemporain (Art3f) in Lyon.

Her work has been featured in magazines (Maison et Jardin), in Bruxelles Culture, and in the digital magazine Aatonau in Osaka, Japan.

During events in Toulon organized by Éditions des Musées et de la Culture – Europe in 2023 and 2024, she received several distinctions, including the International Trophy for Creation in Fine Arts in 2024.

She is listed in J.A. Akoun.
