Simone Monney — artist

Lyrical Abstraction

Lyrical abstraction is a form of abstract art rooted in expressive, emotional and spontaneous creation. When inspired by nature and guided by music, it becomes a dynamic encounter between the visual, the sensory and the sonic, giving rise to deep emotions.
Nature offers Simone an endless source of inspiration through its colours, organic forms and rhythms. She translates them into her work through fluid gestures, layers of material and intuitive compositions. The movement of water, shifting light and

colours in the sky, the textures of landscapes and the beauty of flowers are reinterpreted through abstraction to capture not only their appearance, but above all their spirit and fleeting nature.
Music deepens the emotional and gestural dimensions of her work. Simone paints to the rhythm of melodies, harmonies and musical vibrations — particularly jazz, classical and ambient music — that accompany the brush and influence the composition. Like music, lyrical abstraction conveys emotion without relying on figurative representation.
