The Artist | emmanuelleauzias

Biography

I was born in Marseille, France, and have spent my life conversing between cultures due to my parents’ different origins. My father was born in Corsica, a rugged, wild island in the Mediterranean Sea, while my mother was from the cool, lofty Swiss Alps. After a first high education curriculum in Computer Sciences and several years occupying Engineer positions in France, I returned to college and graduated in 2007 from French Universities with a major in Psychology to pursue my passion for the human brain and its impact on our behavior. It was around the same time that I started studying Art. At first, painting was more of a way to relax and escape the stress of my everyday busy life and I focused on figurative paintings of the human body, inspired by my love of contemporary dance. However, as the months and years passed, it slowly became a passion and a way to express myself and my creativity. I have always had this creative side to my personality which took different forms such as dance, singing, sculpting and then painting. Ultimately, when I moved from the South of France to Denver, Colorado in 2012, I was finally able to fully bring out the artistic side of my personality. I was able to free my mind and devote myself to Art making as a way to express my emotions and communicate with others through my creations. For me, this could only be done through Abstract Art, so I started learning at the Art Student League of Denver. I then also took Art Therapy classes at the Colorado School for Family Therapy in order to link my psychology background to my art practice. Since 2015, I have had numerous collective and solo shows, I am currently represented by fooLPRoof Contemporary Art in Denver, and my work was displayed in the Chelsea Art District of New York and at the New York ArtExpo international Art Fair in 2018. Right now, I live in the South of France.
