"Somewhere between thoughtfulness and helplessness, the observer is gripped by the surreal images of Marine Louvel: large-sized heads with oversized eyes, porcelain skin, and button-shaped pupils, painted in carefully layered glaze painting. "Insight" and "Polycephaly" are the titles. Even if the artist does not name it clearly, thoughts of genetic manipulation and sinister medical experiments pop up. ",

Based in Germany, Marine Louvel’s works move impulsively between figurative and abstract depictions of inner states. She intuitively uses different techniques and works predominantly with oil, acrylic and watercolours, inks and pigments. The constant experimentation with different materials and techniques, the urge to cross one's own boundaries, always creates new challenges and is balanced in its oppositeness. At the same time, it is a homage to the importance of childlike curiosity in the unexplored and the unfathomable.

IMMERSIVE, COMPLEX PAINTINGS 

With her work, Marine Louvel wants to give a face to the "invisible" and invite the viewer to enter an inner dialogue with her paintings and oneself. Much of Marine's work deals with the complexity of the human psyche, the energies surrounding us, mental wounds and the masks we hide those behind. She delves into our intertwining energies in the search for deeper meaning and connectedness. By exploring deep feelings with negative connotations Marine’s paintings create a space in which deeper emotions are allowed to exist and be fully explored. The focus of her work has crystallized in Marine’s fascination with the eyes and the inevitable honesty of their expressions, which literally form the windows to the soul. All eyes tell their own story, just like Marine’s artworks. Ultimately, however, each painting is a mystery unto itself, a secret that may never fully be revealed.
