About the artist
Ambre Mendez is a self-taught fine art painter who was born and raised in the Loire Valley, France. Growing up surrounded by European art and culture ignited her passion for fine art from an early age. She began expressing herself through art during her youth, ultimately delving into oil painting. After years of travel, she settled in Perth, Western Australia, where she now creates her artwork in her home studio.
Mendez’s paintings are inspired by dreamlike themes, emotions, folklore tales, and poetry, resulting in unique surrealistic scenes. Her artistic journey is driven by a desire to convey stories and invite people into her soft, daydream-like vision of the world.
Artist’s statement :
As an artist, I view the canvas as a gateway to emotions beyond words- a realm where imagination intertwines with dreams. Each strokes of my brush is an invitation to explore a moment suspended in time, offering a glimpse into a fantastical world where reality and imagination converge. Through my work, I seek to translate these ineffable feelings into tangible images that resonates profoundly with viewers. Painting, to me, is silent poetry.
Thank you for joining me on this artistic journey.
