“My chromatic and gestural language is evolving towards an increasingly minimalist expression. Successive themes intertwine and some of them reappear to create cycles. While weaving transdisciplinary links with botany, ethnology, history, literature, architecture… they revolve around the future and elsewhere, in an attempt to grasp the here and now. ”

With each new creation, Anne Mandorla experiments. In her engravings, she seeks a balance between fullness and emptiness, both in her use of colour and in her compositions. These are semi-figurative landscapes in which nature is omnipresent. She attempts to provide an aesthetic interpretation of the ordinary. Each print of the same engraving is unique, with the addition of marouflaged paper, Chinese paper, or even a change of colours.

Anne Mandorla also experiments with assemblages and collages, series that are halfway between painting, engraving and collage. The artist’s search for harmony, through her creations and spontaneous experimentation, makes these series exciting and rich in detail.

Her paintings are testimonies to her various travels (the islands of the Indian Ocean, Cap Corse, and the Atlantic Sahara). Anne Mandorla creates landscape studies, taking the opportunity to discover new pigments and materials that reflect the landscapes she encounters. ‘My allusive paintings are pretexts for playing with the spectacle of nature, reminding humans that they gravitate in an impermanent world… I spray water, clouds and organic dust particles in a panoramic format that breaks with Western norms.’
