Marie’s travels through the heart of cities began in 2010, using dreamlike compositions to guide viewers through the hidden nooks and crannies of our cityscapes. In this decorative panel she offers a glimpse of Berlin. Through the skilful use of colour and graphic elements, her lacquered pieces amplify her impressions of each city’s specific atmosphere.

Marie regularly works with other master artisans, believing the diversity of talent to be synonymous with cultural wealth. She has lacquered several harpsichords in collaboration with the Parisian workshop of Reinhard von Nage. The lacquer brings a contemporary touch of bright colour to this harpsichord built in the traditional design of the 18th-century French school.

This lacquered wood panel is part of Marie’s series on the theme of cities. Here we see the buildings of Manhattan silhouetted against a sky of patinated copper. Deep black lacquer evokes rust, and bronze powders become autumn leaves. Through the skilful use of colour and graphic elements, the lacquered pieces amplify Marie’s impressions of the city’s special atmosphere.
