Anaïs Vindel (Bordeaux, 1992) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of nature, emotion, and abstraction. Shaped by travel and self-reconnection, her practice translates landscapes and lived experiences into compositions where thought and sensibility converge.

 

At the core of her practice is Wet & Dry, a technique she also calls the “petal technique.” By layering washes of ink and oil on soaked canvas—sometimes leaving areas bare, other times allowing pigment to be partially absorbed—Vindel creates transparencies, densities, and resonances that evoke nature’s shifting palette. From the intensity of walnut ink to the vaporous delicacy of diluted washes, her canvases breathe with the rhythm of the seasons, resonating with the sounds and energies of the natural world.

 

For Vindel, color is inseparable from emotion. Each chromatic range stems from a vision, a light, or a particular atmosphere. Her paintings, often developed over weeks but sustained within a single vibrational state, recreate the cycles of nature and the intensity of lived experience. In this way, her work transcends the purely formal to become a space of connection with the intimate and the essential—where sensitivity is not peripheral, but central.
