Collection: Maryline Genest

Maryline Genest is a French painter and visual artist, graduated from the Beaux-Arts in Paris. In her works, she explores the notion of habitat as a space in perpetual movement. Her creations, imbued with the movements of the body, animal and plant species, play with colors and materials: papers, vegetable inks, illuminations, gouaches, oil painting on wooden logs. Through these compositions, she develops dreamlike and disturbing stories.

Alongside her artistic practice, she develops a sensitive and immersive approach around the living model and transmission. Her work explores the links between the body, movement and the work of art, mixing drawing, painting and performance.

She currently collaborates with prestigious institutions such as the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, within the framework of the Naba (amateur practices), and the Fondation Giacometti, where she offers experimental sketching workshops mixing the live model and works of art. She has also collaborated with the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris, where she contributed to restoration and colorization projects of works and zoological specimens for major exhibitions.

Her artistic commitment also extends to international projects and residencies, with exhibitions in France and abroad. She also carries out transmission work with a wide audience, combining pedagogy and artistic research. She continues to explore these themes through new projects and ephemeral exhibitions.
