Presentation

Marie Freisses is an author and professional painter. She also works under the artist name Flamaelle, sometimes associated with the Japanese phrase "Mori no Shajin," meaning "painter of the forest."
In 2017, she published the book *Gréoux-les-Bains* with Edisud. This work reflects her journey as an author and her deep connection to specific regions, their history, and their identity. Through her writing, Marie Freisses pays close attention to places, landscapes, and the traces left by the people who inhabit them.
For several years, she has focused primarily on oil painting. Her work draws inspiration from forests, trees, light, and natural landscapes. She is interested in the relationship between human beings and the natural world. Her paintings invite viewers to observe nature closely and to find a more conscious place within the environment.
Her artistic approach rests on three essential elements: composition, materiality, and narrative. Composition guides the eye; materiality gives presence to the painted elements; and narrative opens up a space for imagination and reflection. Each painting thus offers a sensory experience, bridging the real landscape and the inner world.
Her childhood spent in the *garrigue* (Mediterranean scrubland) fostered an attentiveness to shifting light, foliage, rocks, and rivers—experiences that continue to nourish her painting. She combines this with a special affinity for Japanese culture, the concept of space, and the contemplation of nature.
Under the name Flamaelle, she is developing a personal approach known as "Impromantism"—a fusion of Impressionism and Romanticism. This approach prioritizes the moment, receptivity, and the freedom of the brushstroke, placing great importance on creative liberty and the observation of the living world.
Through her books, paintings, and projects, Marie Freisses creates a link between writing, landscape, and the memory of places. His work invites the public to view the surrounding landscapes in a new way—with greater patience, curiosity, and sensitivity.
