Marine Bonzom  

In an approach that she defines as instinctive, simple and natural, Marine Bonzom nevertheless presents a work imbued with a certain complexity, carried by the romantic ideal, which challenges us. She was quickly spotted during her very first solo exhibition by experts and amateurs alike, all impressed by the precocity of her technique and the subtle harmony of her compositions. In fact, these are the tools she uses to give life to what characterizes her the most: the passionate expression of emotions.

Rich in her many travels, from Dubai to Seoul via Rome and New York, Marine invites us to share a thrilling experience. Sincere and passionate by nature, she portrays what drives her and makes her vibrate: the magic of a place, the complexity of feelings, the euphoria of a moment or the nostalgia of an era.

Marine Bonzom continues to evolve and enrich herself with varied experiences, and her painting technique with it. Today she works exclusively on canvas with acrylic and natural pigments. We notice first of all his work on the material which gives the impression to the spectator of a work in three dimensions. Movement is also very important in Marine Bonzom's work, her canvases seem to undulate like breaking waves to transport our eye in different directions.

The influence of the works of William Turner is very present, these are the very ones that made Marine gain confidence in her artistic approach. We also find in his works a certain depth, giving perspective to his abstract art.
