Marie Thorslund

Culturally Woven Landscape

Marie Thorslund, an artist with roots in both France and Sweden, brings with her a wealth of cultural influences and experiences. Living and working in Paris, Marie holds a Master's Degree in Art Theory from the Sorbonne University and a diploma from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués, which infuses her art with deep understanding and creativity.

Through her figurative works on various substrates, especially wood, Marie explores questions of cultural heritage and identity. She creates an artistic dialogue between different codes and icons from different cultures and eras, giving life to paintings that are like cultural woven landscapes.

In her latest works, Marie has highlighted nature as a response to environmental threats. She strives to depict the sacred aura that surrounds nature, and the awareness of its fragile dimension becomes clearer with each brush stroke.

Marie Thorslund regularly shares her art in both Sweden and France, and each exhibition becomes an opportunity for the viewer to delve into the multi-layered layers of cultural and natural heritage that are woven together in her artistry.
