Her works leave room for the viewer's imagination, as they immerse themselves in daring chromatic mixtures and gestures that seem both spontaneous and highly crafted. The viewer is captivated by the intensity of the colors and the harmonies that emerge, but also by the depth of the pictorial space.

Marc Tanguy is a multidisciplinary painter. He alternates between watercolor (the transparency and lightness of paint on paper), which exudes a certain gentleness, and large, energetic formats. The latter have a hypnotic power over the viewer, who searches for indistinct shapes in an innovative, abstract burst of color that is both dynamic and constructed. These latest works are painted on bleached linen canvas, with paints prepared by the artist from raw pigments.

Marc Tanguy's work can be found in numerous private collections around the world, and is also exhibited in several galleries, notably in Paris and London.
