Artist biography
Born in 1989, Agathe Toman is a French visual artist of French, Austrian, and Czech origins. Her work unfolds across painting, drawing, photography, poetry, and sculpture. After studies at the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne and several years as a stylist within haute couture houses in Paris, she chose to devote herself fully to her artistic practice. Based in the Landes region, her work is today present in numerous private collections in France and internationally. Listed at Sotheby’s since 2021, her works have been offered at several auctions, and she has notably exhibited at Art Paris. Her artistic research explores the links between memory, perception, the body, and inner landscapes. Through an essentially abstract practice, she develops a sensitive language where light, matter, and gesture become vectors of an emotional and contemplative experience. Whether in painting, drawing, or photography, Agathe Toman seeks less to represent reality than to reveal what remains invisible: psychic states, traces of memory, and movements of the unconscious. In parallel with her artistic practice, she has been pursuing studies in psychoanalysis and transactional analysis in Paris for several years. This research deeply nourishes her work, in which visual creation and exploration of the psyche intertwine. Her work has notably been featured in several publications dedicated to contemporary art, including Forbes, L’Œil, and ELLE.

Artistic vision
"My work explores the deep links between the psyche and the body. I question how our experiences imprint themselves on matter, memory, and the landscape.

My works are abstractions where light converses with darkness, where the visible allows the invisible to appear. They do not aim to tell a story but to provoke an inner experience.

I consider each of my creations as the materialization of a psychic state. They become spaces of projection where the viewer fully participates in the work, granting it a new existence through their own sensitivity.

What interests me is not what the work represents, but what it awakens. The work comes to life in the encounter."
