Born Gemma Annick Edmonde Harbulot on March 23, 1937 in Nouméa, Gemmanick is a neo-Caledonian symbolist painter of Irish origin. Born into two prominent pioneer families of the territory, she grows up between New Caledonia and the New Hebrides. Very early, at twelve, she discovers painting, first inspired by Pacific landscapes and the mining world where her family worked.
In 1963, the death of her brother marks a decisive turning point: she abandons realism to create a personal pictorial language which she names Nuances, a sensitive, spiritual, and vibrant universe. Her early exhibitions in Nouméa, notably in 1965 and 1969, meet with meteoric success.
Discovered by Seiji Tōgō, a member of the Tokyo Academy of Arts, she exhibited in 1971 at Nichido Gallery on Ginza. In 1973, her work Aquarescence won the grand prize at the Nika Kai salon. On Tōgō’s advice, she settled in Paris in 1975, where she exhibited at Galerie Vendôme; David de Rothschild purchased one of her works there.
In 1977, her painting Carnaval under the Sea becomes an Aubusson tapestry, making her the first overseas artist woven into Aubusson. The work was even reproduced on a postage stamp in 1978. She then pursued an international career, exhibiting in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Germany.
