Axelle Boréalis
Bio
Axelle Boréalis evolves in a mystical, dreamlike and spiritual universe.
Since childhood, she has been painting, exploring the subtle worlds that inhabit her dreams and notebooks. Born in 1976 on the Atlantic coast, she began her artistic career at the age of 18, combining painting and live performances in the world of electronic music in Nantes. Her first exhibitions, in 1996, revealed a symbolic language, populated by characters and shapes from her visions.
Self-taught, Axelle enriched her practice with body painting and character creation, before becoming a professional make-up artist and decorative painter in 2004. She collaborates with prestigious venues and artists, including L’Opéra de Paris, Thierry Mugler and The Gorillaz.
In 2013, she chose to devote herself fully to her artistic practice and became interested in the subtle effects of her paintings: their ability to act on the inner frequency, to support alignment and soothing.
Attracted by the essence of places and their design, Axelle is developing a broader vision of the distribution of her art: from intimate spaces to large-scale venues.
Her latest exhibitions include “Les Mondes Subtils” at the Parc Floral de Paris, 2023 , and the “Les Maîtres Messagers” series in a group show at Zurich’s main railway station (2024).
Vibrant art between matter and energy
Axelle Boréalis’ work is an intuitive exploration between the visible and the invisible.
Her acrylic canvases, guided by her visions, vibrate with deep pigments and intense colors – blues, raw earths, gold pigments – that capture the eye and the spirit. She practices automatic painting, letting forms, symbols and colors emerge without mental control, like messages to be revealed.
Her rich universe, an alliance of modern societies and ancestral knowledge, is expressed through several emblematic series: Les Mondes Subtils, Les Maîtres Messagers, Les Multivers, Les Encres de la terre, as well as Osmose, her body painting series integrated into her large-scale canvases. Finally, her “live” artistic performances and immersive exhibitions invite you to take a meditative journey into the heart of her worlds.
Each work becomes a gateway to different dimensions of the human being, a sensitive experience combining power, wisdom and connection to nature.
A creation in resonance with space
Axelle Boréalis creates in symbiosis with the energy of the site. Some of her works come to life directly in the space that hosts them, capturing and amplifying the unique, subtle energy.
In this way, they become a living link with the environment, helping to reinforce its harmony and vibrancy.
Axelle Borealis’s work brings living creations to spaces, conveying meaning and sensory experience.
