Painter & designer
BIOGRAPHY
“I paint today with my emotions, the energy of my body and my breath. I don’t decide anything in fact… The emotion carries me and it is the magic of the conjunction between my canvas, my brushes and my colors that create, not me, but us.
It is a plural creative force, a creative addition, an alchemy between us that creates the canvas” G
A woman of the South, Géraldine Auret lives and works in Montpellier. Her precocious artistic sensibility, expressed at the age of 17 with her first exhibitions, led her for a time to envisage a career in the arts. Her choices led her to embark on a long course of study in economics...
She never stopped painting and exhibiting, then put her exhibitions on hold to create two businesses and her most beautiful work: her family. After a rich and busy professional career, she now devotes herself to her artistic creation with her "Collections G.".
Self-taught, inspired in her early years by Picasso, Matisse and Viallat, she was influenced, even fascinated, by Japanese prints, starting out with a pen and working on the finesse of the line, the flowers, the motifs of her silky dresses and the contours of the shapes...
She has retained certain aesthetic principles: the simplification of forms, a taste for sinuous lines, the abandonment of perspective and a love of bright colors.
Her paintings reflect her spirituality, her emotions and her strong love of life.

process
"I seek to capture the strength, the fleetingness and the fragility of the present moment which has already passed. I like the idea that my paintings are moments frozen in time but which continue to vibrate and to dialogue with the one who looks at them"
Each canvas is a capture of the present moment, where she aspires for the sensuality of the curves and the intense contrast of the colors to create a vibration, a palpable resonance.
"My work feeds on my emotion, my breath, the raw energy that emerges from each of my gestures, creating an impression of continuous movement and force yet frozen on the canvas."
Each brushstroke, each of its ample curves is a captured moment, a raw energy charged with a strong intention that translates a primitive and intense emotion.
"In this chaotic world, where everything becomes complex, hard and chaotic, I want to be an artist who just brings out positive emotions and who tries to bring happiness to those who look at my paintings. We only live this life once, so art might as well contribute to this deep happiness!"
Positive & supportive approach
Every year, I participate in several auctions in favour of charities working with sick children. A percentage of all sales is also donated to these associations.
