Johanne Cinier

A multidisciplinary artist originally from Sète, my work stages reality at the tipping point between fantasy and tension, brilliance and fragility. I compose figures and environments where color, matter, and light reveal what lies beneath the surface. The question of identity runs through all of my work: the feminine, often central, oscillates between power and vulnerability, between social role and inner life. Sometimes everyday objects, bordering on abstraction, become the setting for this tension. The works are constructed through layers of paper, fabric, lace, wood, and found materials, mixed with acrylics, inks, and oil pastels. The contrasts, sometimes reinforced by black and white, establish a direct presence. The LED neon line, when it appears, acts as a luminous fracture: it exposes, underlines, and illuminates. Between figuration and abstraction, I seek a sensitive form that questions what we show and what we do.
