Amelie Le Grelle

The Human Imprint on the Landscape...

Amélie Le Grelle, born in 1970, began with business studies before turning to an artistic career. She trained at the Atelier de Sèvres in Paris and then at the IDEA, an institute for design and interior architecture. In the early 2000s, she fully dedicated herself to oil painting, developing a unique artistic approach.

Deeply inspired by nature and architecture, Amélie merges these two elements in her work. Each painting reveals a lush, vibrant nature in duality with a solid, linear architecture that subtly marks the presence of humanity. Her works explore the fragile balance between these two forces: an omnipresent nature and the human imprint.

Although the human figure never appears directly in her paintings, its trace is unmistakable. Amélie transcends simple realistic representation to create a poetic atmosphere, a diffuse presence, where the main focus lies in suggestion and emotion.

"From the realistic representation of the urban and vegetal world, I aim to highlight the emotion, the poetry. I capture and retain rhythms, spaces, voids, and play with lines that emphasize colored surfaces. My gaze focuses on where architectural planes meet and where vegetal patterns intertwine. The visual density of these 'weavings' creates atmospheres that I strive to artistically embrace." – Amélie Le Grelle.
