Béatrice Burel

Béatrice Burel's work is concerned with the emotional and formal ambiguity an artist experiences in the moments of creation. Her work resembles the microscopic structures of plants or minerals, but her subject matter is concerned with the sources of inspiration, obsession and desire. Saturated with color as well as mystery, her works explore the interaction of media in the creation of images. They are made of translucent layers that use a unique combination of painting, printing, and the "unsticking" of paper on the inked surface. But Béatrice's work is not only an exploration of mediums and techniques. She is involved in a relationship with her work that seesaws back and forth in a courageous exploration of dreamscapes that are an expression of her own raw emotions and reflect a strong interest in Freudian psychology. She delves deep into the psyche, the subconscious, and the repressed self.

Béatrice Burel comes from a family of painters and draftsmen and holds several degrees in the fine arts from the Faculté des Arts d’Amiens.
