Bio
Roxane lives and works in Walloon Brabant, Belgium. Her pictural works combine pleasurable childish mark-making, patterning, gestural application of colour and delicate shapes. She works with colorfull palette and mixed media (pencils, pastels, acrylics, spray paint, oil...). Roxane wants to allow the viewer to apply freely their own experiences and feelings to the canvas, without any prior direction. Working intuitively across each composition, she may not know the outcome of the piece. The painting evolves as a emotional and therapeutic process, driven by music, light and moment. She likes the idea of transmitting to people, through her works, a kind of pure energy.
She studied painting restoration, learned golding and copying from masters (2003-2006). Like her grandfather René Meert, Belgian figurative painter, she first created figurative oil works. Since 2019, the abstract has become her favorite expression mode. As an emerging artist in 2020, she exhibited her work in art galleries and collective shows and her artworks has already been collected across Belgium, France, Germany and in the USA.

Roxane Malu vit et travaille en Brabant Wallon, Belgique. Son travail combine les traits enfantins, les formes répétitives et délicates et une application gestuelle de la matière. La palette est colorée et lumineuse. Les techniques employées sont mixtes (acrylique, crayons, marqueurs, pastels secs et gras, graphite, huile, peinture en bombe...). Son souhait est de permettre à l'observateur de voyager librement à travers la composition et d'interpréter l'œuvre en fonction de ses expériences et émotions. Travaillant intuitivement, elle ne peut connaitre l'aspect final que prendra la toile. La peinture évolue tel un procédé thérapeutique et émotionnel, selon la lumière, la musique et le moment. Elle aime l'idée de transmettre à travers son travail, une forme d'énergie pure.
Roxane a étudié la restauration de peinture, la dorure et réalisé des copies de tableaux de maîtres (2003-2006). Comme son grand-père René Meert, peintre figuratif belge, elle a d'abord travaillé le dessin, le figuratif et l'huile. Depuis 2019, l'abstraction est devenu son moyen d'expression favori. Artiste professionnelle émergente en 2020, elle a exposé depuis en galeries et en expositions collectives et ses toiles ont été vendues en Europe comme aux Etats-Unis.
