Biography
Michèle Ansermet Papadopoulos is a Franco-Swiss and Cypriot visual artist who spends her time between Paris and Paphos. Graduated in ceramics, trained at the Charpentier Academy and then at the National School of Decorative Arts of Paris, she also attended the Académie de Port-Royal and the Beaux-Arts workshops of Paris-Glacière.
After a twenty-five-year interruption for personal reasons, she resumed her artistic practice in 2007. Her work, based on the primacy of drawing, the power of color, and narration, gives birth to Chromatisme, a visually immediately identifiable language: structuring black lines, flat color areas, interwoven figures, signs, and fragments of texts compose works of great energy.
Her career is marked by several solo exhibitions in France, Cyprus, and Switzerland, as well as numerous group exhibitions in the United Kingdom, Belgium, China, and Japan. She regularly participates in the Autumn Salon and Art Capital at the Grand Palais in Paris.
Laureate of the Autumn Salon Prize and the Christiane Peugeot Prize in 2016, she is the creator and president of the CHROMATICS section of the Autumn Salon. She has also been the curator of several international exhibitions, notably within the framework of Paphos, European Capital of Culture in 2017.
From 2019 to 2024, she collaborates with the Haviland house on porcelain creations. Since 2025, she is developing an important artistic collaboration with the Atomic Heart video game universe, giving birth to monumental paintings, sculptures, and various international projects. In 2026, her work The Code Keepers is selected as a finalist for the cl'Arte Laguna Prize in Venice.
Through a free, vibrant, and engaged work, Michèle Ansermet Papadopoulos transforms world events, intimate experience, and contemporary imagination into visual narratives where color remains a force of resistance, memory, and life.
