Marion explores the pictorial gesture through gouache and acrylic, in a rhythmic approach where each mark is made in a single movement, inspired by organic forms and the patterns of living systems.
Gouache, acrylic & textile
She paints on second-hand canvases found at the Marché Saint-Pierre. She often works in triptychs, allowing the motif to unfold from one canvas to the next. Everything begins with a single trace, a single curve, without reworking.
She then creates a gouache ground, applied flat, which establishes the base color.
These traces are what define the work: abstract movements that carry the rhythm of something alive, sometimes resembling a flower, sometimes seaweed, always in vibrant colors.
In fact, it is a seaweed that is at the origin of her work — a fascination with its patterns and textures, this way organic forms have of repeating without ever being identical.
She initially wanted to reproduce this in painting; over time, the reference has moved away, the forms have become abstract, but the principle remains: rhythm, fluidity, and continuity.
