Carmenly

Working in the iconic style of Pop artists Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, French-born artist Carmenly reinvents a long revered style for a contemporary audience. Bold colors, seductive lines and intriguing shapes intermingle to produce striking visions of present day celebrities and stars of a bygone era. Carmenly’s paintings are striking in their graphic simplicity, where flattened areas of electric colors play upon one another to produce works of striking dimension and intense mood: hot sensuality is conveyed with warm hues and dramatic shades. Carmenly injects a sampling of her works with a subtle sense of humor, borrowing visual cues from the iconography of advertising. Drawing inspiration from her Pop predecessors, but in a style all her own, Carmenly imparts a feminine softness and a talented eye.

Formally trained in Graphic Design, Carmenly began painting with acrylics in 2006. Having quickly honed her skills, Carmenly has exhibited her work in Monaco and France, with upcoming exhibitions in New York.
