Les feuilles mortes (2024)

Anaïs Marie Perier

a Bachelor’s degree in Illustration at the

HAW – University of Applied Sciences

in Hamburg. In 2023, she moved to Leipzig.

Drawing on her own photographs of her personal surroundings, Anaïs Marie Perier uses oil and acrylic painting to explore the essence of interpersonal experiences and constructed (emotional) landscapes. On their canvases, an interplay of figurative and abstract elements blurs the boundaries between individual documentation and universal observation. In this way, the visual worlds invite the viewer to recognise themselves within them. From the photographs, she draws primarily on those aspects that originally inspired the shots: a dynamic, a mood or a gesture of trust, an emotional content, a tilted head, or simply the way the shadow of a palm tree falls.

Biographically inspired, Anaïs Marie Perier’s paintings, as well as her graphic narratives and illustrations, blend influences, atmospheres, colours and motifs from the south of France, the island of La Réunion, California and northern Germany. And they are always testing boundaries and striking a balance between the nostalgic and the kitsch, the gentle and the bold, the elegant and the imperfect, the loud and the loving.
