Aude Antoine’s work is characterized by a fascination with materiality. Each painting becomes an exploration of the interplay between textures, contrasts, and forms. She creates compositions that invite a visual and tactile experience. Her works, like emotional cartographies, reveal a richness where every detail, every relief, becomes a language of its own.

Some works exude raw energy, reflecting moments of intensity and transformation. In contrast, others delve into an ephemeral balance, where harmony appears both fragile and elusive. Yet, even within these more serene works, subtle textures and delicate fractures reveal an underlying depth, creating a continuous tension between calm and vibration.

This duality is also reflected in her creative process. Some phases are physical, intense, requiring total bodily engagement, while others are more meditative, marked by slow and precise gestures. She cultivates an almost instinctive relationship with the material. Aude Antoine intervenes at the exact moment when the surface begins to evolve, as the paint, between fluidity and solidification, unveils new possibilities.

Each of her paintings begins with a hint of an idea, an initial impulse that serves as a starting point. Very quickly, this initial direction fades to give way to total spontaneity, where gesture and material become the true protagonists. This approach, free of any narrative intention, becomes, almost despite itself, a mirror revealing the artist’s identity and tracing the contours of life’s depths that imbue every detail.

Through her works, Aude Antoine captures and conveys the richness of human emotions: moments of suspended calm that, at any moment, can be disrupted by tumultuous energy, whether positive or negative.
