Emily Starck is a French artist born in 1979. For her, painting is inseparable from living: she approaches art as a way of listening to life and responding to it. Her practice is rooted in spontaneity and gesture, guided by raw emotion rather than predefined ideas. She works primarily with bright, vibrant colors, using a joyful palette that brings energy and movement to her compositions. In a time of uncertainty, she sees art as a way to keep moving forward and giving meaning to experience. Since 2024, Starck has expanded her practice to include ceramics, feeling the need to explore new forms beyond painting. Her work is characterized by a bold use of color and form, with compositions that balance intuition and structure. Repetitive lines and patterns often appear, guiding the viewer’s eye and creating a sense of rhythm. Her paintings evoke themes of nature, introspection, and human emotion, shifting between calm and intensity, and reflecting the complexity of inner experience. Emily Starck’s works are held in public and private collections worldwide, and her paintings have been featured successfully in several galleries.
