Slightly Dreaming, Circa 2024

Marylin Cavin  

Marylin Cavin is a French-Swiss artist who completed her art studies in Paris, where she lived for about thirty years. For the past 25 years, she has regularly exhibited in galleries and participated in numerous contemporary art fairs and salons, earning recognition such as the Prize of the Fondation Taylor in Paris. Currently, she lives and works near Avignon in the south of France.

Drawing inspiration from her surroundings, loved ones, and public spaces, she captures photographs that serve as the foundation for composing and creating her paintings. Her recent works depict men, women, and sometimes children, often alone in a clear, abstract environment, placed in situations that reflect the contemporary world. However, her intention is not to tell a specific story. "Everything is open, possible," she says. "Each person can interpret these scenes as they wish. The canvas shows nothing beyond what we see. These people are simply there. We observe them, but in reality, it is a reflection of ourselves, the canvas is a mirror. What matters to me is capturing a moment of stillness, one that can reveal something in each of us."
