Emilie Marc is a Paris-based painter and ceramicist whose work explores the ever-changing sky. Clouds — her enduring obsession — become vehicles for color, light, and transformation.

As a graduate of Villa Arson in Nice, she creates paintings, frescoes, and ceramic objects that are deeply rooted in nature. In her works the sky sometimes unfolds as the central subject: transparent, weightless, and voluptuous. At other moments, the clouds take shape as a backdrop, hosting figures or forms that stage a fragile poetry.

As John Constable once said, “For me, painting is just another word, synonymous with feeling.” Emilie Marc embraces this view. For her, painting is an act of intuition, where sensations shift with the changing play of colors and shapes. Her compositions emerge organically, concluding only when balance arrives. Each cloud, ephemeral and always unique, can only endure in its painted form — the lasting trace of her fascination.

From her studio in Paris’s 9th arrondissement, Marc continues to explore raw and natural materials. She is inspired by both classical and contemporary painters — Friedrich, Constable, Turner, Richter — and her work resonates with the minimal, poetic sensibilities of Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics.
