Manon Facca graduated from Ensaama Olivier de Serres in Paris, where she specialized in Fresco and Mosaic. There, she developed a figurative approach distinguished by meticulous attention to detail and a deep pursuit of beauty in every element of a composition.
Her works capture fragments of everyday life, which she enhances with a delicate touch and a soft, colorful aesthetic. Behind the apparent simplicity of her compositions, subtle details carefully embedded by the artist offer a second layer of interpretation, creating a poetic contrast between reality and imagination. Her artworks thus become spaces of contemplation where the viewer is invited to imagine a hidden story.
In her paintings, solitary figures occasionally emerge, establishing a silent tête-à-tête with the observer. Their presence reinforces the nostalgic and timeless atmosphere of her settings. Her works narrate suspended moments, revealing the universality of daily life while maintaining a dreamlike dimension. By playing with the boundaries of dreams, Manon Facca offers a gaze that is both tender and critical of the contemporary world. Her attention to detail and poetic realism echo the works of Surrealist artists such as René Magritte, who used subtle dissonance to provoke a second reading.
Moreover, her play on contrasts between appearance and reality engages in a dialogue with the tradition of trompe-l’œil and vanitas in classical art, reminding us that behind beauty and harmony often lie more complex truths. By reinterpreting these themes with a contemporary language, she positions herself within an artistic continuum while bringing a unique voice to the current art scene.
