Meriem Delacroix - Mioclonia

Myoclonus is a sudden, brief, involuntary muscle jerk. It feels like a quick twitch or jolt and can affect one muscle or a group of muscles. A common example is the body jerk some people experience while falling asleep.
My work begins with synesthetic perception.
Sound, smell, texture, movement, and emotion merge together and become part of the visual structure of the painting.
I work through layers, allowing multiple sensory reactions, moments, and perspectives to coexist on the same surface. Music can influence shape and rhythm, smells can alter atmosphere and color relationships, while memory and physical sensation become integrated into the composition itself.
The process is intuitive but consistent: I translate sensory perception into visual language through texture, movement, accumulation, and spatial layering.
Rather than representing reality from a single fixed perspective, the work attempts to hold several dimensions of the same experience at once.
