Anaëlle Perriard is a young artist from Geneva who is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in visual arts at HEAD. She enjoys painting, publishing and printing, as well as collaborative projects. She does stick-and-poke tattoos and works as a teacher.

Other than that, she especially loves rabbits, watching the clouds, devouring books, eating crumpled potato chips, swimming in cold water, laughing with her friends, taking care of her family, and chilling out in camping chairs.

In her painting practice, she is interested in the materiality of paint. She does not paint something, but rather creates something with paint. By exploring the various properties of paint, she achieves a result that oscillates between chance and controlled gesture, while exploring the three-dimensionality of surfaces. The rectangular canvases seem to offer glimpses of an inner landscape—a window through which to dream and project memories to which we have no access (perhaps from a life before birth) or that have not yet occurred. She creates paintings intended to serve as spaces for gathering or projecting feelings, and for enjoying the sight of pareidolia. The paintings exist onthe border of something that could be microscopic or macroscopic, past or future, in the real world or in an imaginary one. They seem to be in constant motion, in the process of becoming.
