Self-taught, Pauline Furman creates surreal and mysterious paintings, emerging from worlds full of light yet shadowed, strange yet joyful, designed to question others while exploring herself.

At the heart of her approach is textile material, with velvet as her palette. It was the memory of her mother creating fabric artworks during her childhood that led her to this technique, which is close to tapestry and marquetry, using velvet as a brush.

This atypical technique allows her to bring images to life, hour by hour, lighting by lighting, creating ever-shifting, evolving visuals.
