Artist biography
Born in 1989, Agathe Toman is a French contemporary artist of French, Austrian and Czech origins. Her work spans painting, drawing, photography, poetry and sculpture.
After studies at the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne and several years as a stylist with haute couture houses in Paris, she chose to devote herself entirely to her artistic practice.
Based in the Landes, her work is now present in numerous private collections in France and internationally. Listed with 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 connections between memory, perception, the body, and inner landscapes. Through a mainly 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 for several years pursued training in psychoanalysis and transactional analysis in Paris. This research deeply nourishes her work, in which plastic creation and exploration of the psyche intertwine.
Her work has been featured in several publications devoted 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 in matter, memory, and landscape.
My works are abstractions in which light dialogues with darkness, where the visible reveals the invisible. They do not seek 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, giving 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.”
