UNTAMED WONDERS: Malo A.

Malaurie Auliac, alias Malo A, born in Burgundy in 1980.

Her work is a journey through wildlife that she paints in a realistic and naturalistic manner.

Like Orthodox religious icons, her bestiary seems to be embedded in gold, silver or copper, covering the bottom of most of her paintings, as if to venerate this often mistreated nature.

Malo A. is expressed in a graphic pictorial technique, close to hyperrealism. Her art is a subtle blend of ancient know-how applied to a modern creation that gives life to her paintings on wood. This original approach and sensitivity have developed over the years through numerous trips, encounters, studies and training. 

Her animals are imbued with a sweetness, which could be interpreted as melancholy, but whose only intention is to evoke the deepest of every living being. It is an invitation to contemplate them, to dialogue with them. They question us, challenge us, touch us... The golden backgrounds, sometimes reworked with painting, plunge us into a dreamlike world that completes the animal to share its dreams and to look, perhaps finally, in the same direction.
