Artist Biography:
Born in 1989, of French, Austrian and Czech origins, Agathe Toman is a French multidisciplinary artist whose talent spans painting, poetry, sculpture, drawing and photography. After studies at the prestigious Parisian Chambre Syndicale de la Couture and years working as a stylist for French couture houses in Paris, nine years ago Agathe felt the need to focus exclusively on her artistic creation.
Today based in the Landes for thirteen years, Agathe asserts herself as a rising figure on the contemporary art scene, appreciated both nationally and internationally.

Listed by Sotheby's since 2021, her works have been put up for auction three times, testifying to her rapid rise and acceptance in prestigious art circles. Her notable contributions to various salons, including Art Paris, have earned her immense success, consolidating her presence in numerous private collections around the world.

Agathe's palette favors deep shades of black and blue, a discreet chromatic movement. Her paintings use pure pigments, inks, oils and acrylics with breathtaking intensity, tending to reconnect with hidden things, transporting the viewer beyond the visible. The canvas wields a power, echoing her own experiences.

Her drawings, made with a Bic pen, carry a destabilizing force of attraction.
Agathe's photographs disturb with kaleidoscopic abstractions, overwhelming us with calm sensations, reminiscences of a perfect weightlessness that was at our beginning.
Her hundreds of poems rhythm her universe with a lyricism characteristic of her work. A first collection titled "You will have to learn to smile again" is released in winter 2024.

Beyond her artistic practice, Agathe is deeply engaged in the study of psychoanalysis in transactional analysis, which she has pursued for four years in Paris. This exploration enriches her conceptual process, allowing her to integrate very deep psychological dimensions into her art, which is imbued with new thicknesses.

Agathe does not dissociate her art from her social commitments. She focuses her work on crucial themes such as mental health, the environment and education. These axes of reflection are not only present in her art; they are an integral part of her artistic identity and personality.

Her work has been recognized and celebrated in several renowned publications, including Forbes, L'Oeil, and Elle, marking her notable impact in the field of contemporary art.

Agathe Toman continues to fascinate and inspire a global audience, offering through her works a window into the complexity of the human experience as she perceives it and transforms it into art. Experiences she shares with great generosity.

"MY VISION:
My work explores the deep links between psyche and body, weaving dialogues between mind and matter. I question their modes of operation in their environment, the connections they establish, and the vibrations, both perceptible and imperceptible, that arise from them.
I explore themes such as identity, memory, human nature and the relationship between the individual and their environment. My works are imbued with emotional depth and a certain tension, inviting the viewer to an introspective reflection, opening a passage to the unconscious.

I inscribe this will into the very materiality of my works: resolutely abstract, in monochromes, nuanced, where darkness coexists with clarity, blue crackles at the contact with black, or illuminates on its own. We are in the absence/presence of light.
My paintings, installations, drawings, and photographs are each an absolute creation, free from imitation, evoking pure emotion, provoking the awakening of the Invisible; my works thus become mirrors of these inner aspects not yet revealed.

A meticulous bond between my hands and the pigments, the charcoal, the ballpoint pen and the paints, through the deposition of matter on paper or on the canvas. My execution techniques never repeat themselves, an uncontrolled result. A heightened singularity.
Thus I work to fix the movement of matter, the density of light, to infuse myself into it, for the awakening of a Self.

There is always something one did not suspect. Something unexpected. This intensely compressed, subtly stirred inexpressible, which dominates and overwhelms us. Water, gravity, bark—these omnipresent forces metamorphose the observer by their strength. The emergence of a decidedly unique imprint, a lyrical abstraction, my works are self-portraits, portraits of parts of myself.
I say that my creations are “materializations of psychic states,” human landscapes, threads of my soul, inviting others to merge with them.
Their value is not aesthetic; it lies in the vibrations my works create in the viewer. These are two sensibilities meeting, no longer two separate individuals. It is a living process. The work transcends the immediate. I see them as active beings, creating new links between Us, within us.

The viewer becomes, in turn, a creator, giving life to the work in an alchemy of psychic resonances.

I invite a path toward a new vision of being, of oneself, of the world, and of others.

If the viewer accepts the invitation, psychic resonances harmonize in one symphony, a dialogue begins to take shape, a rhythm is felt. An anamorphosis of the soul unfolds, an elusive reflection. It is a poetic experience.
An intense and powerful presence. A demanding experience.

I want my works to sharpen human minds, refine souls and let emotions find an echo, so that words resonate there.
What matters is what the work mobilizes in us, and the outcome of this encounter.

"Psychic suffering is linked to everything that evades the process of subjectivizing symbolization. We suffer from what is psychically blocked, or awaiting psychic inscription. The human being suffers not only because of events or certain thoughts, but because certain processes within him have not found a mirror, an echo, a listening, a receptacle and remain thus in wandering." René Roussillon - Manual of psychology and psychopathology of general clinical, page 146.
