Evolution by Myriam Feuilloley

In the work "Evolution," Myriam Feuilloley presents us with a meditation on the nature of humanity and its perpetual journey between animality and transcendence. Through naked and bald human figures, the artist explores the complexity of human existence, freed from social and material constraints. A woman stands straight, her arms crossed in a posture of reflection or defiance, while a spectral figure, which seems to float behind her, extends its hands in a gesture of revelation or spiritual awakening. Below, a monkey, curious and conscious, observes the scene, recalling the common origins and the deep connection between man and nature.

The light blue and ethereal background gives the whole a dreamy, almost surreal atmosphere. Feuilloley, faithful to his approach inspired by contemporary surrealism and Khmer and Egyptian aesthetics, infuses his characters with a strange beauty. Nudity, far from being simply physical, becomes here a symbol of truth, of the very essence of the human being stripped of his artifices.

"Evolution" does not simply depict a scene, it questions, it challenges. It invites the viewer to reflect on their own place in the vast scheme of existence, to contemplate the evolution of the mind and body through time and space. Myriam Feuilloley, through this painting, pushes us to explore the intersection between the visible and the invisible, between the real and the spiritual.
