Abstract

Emma Lapassouze is a contemporary French artist whose work spans various media, including paintings, sculptures, and installations, rooted in an exploration of matter and materials. Her artistic journey began with a desire to be an art restorer, leading her to study plastic arts and develop a unique approach to art. Lapassouze's work delves into the exchange of energy between inert and living matter, reflecting her belief in the continuity of energy beyond death. She draws inspiration from nature and spirituality, creating artworks that serve as gateways to another dimension. Lapassouze's creative process is driven by a vital energy that constantly fuels her desire to create, with ideas emerging from various sources, often from silence and energy. The environment of the Landes region where she lives influences her work, as she incorporates elements from nature into her art. Lapassouze's artistic references include Zao Wou-Ki and Antoni Tàpies, whose works inspire her exploration of the relationship between matter and space. She engages with exhibitions and collaborations to share her art with viewers, believing in the enriching dialogue that emerges from showcasing her work. Lapassouze's advice to young artists is to remain authentic, true to themselves, and passionate, emphasizing the importance of connecting with audiences to learn and grow as artists.
