A graduate of the Villa Arson, École nationale supérieure d'arts de Nice, Ambre Gaude is captivated by the forms of life. Through painting, sculpture, illustration and mural painting, she explores the patterns and volumes of life.
"Every detail of nature is a masterpiece", wrote the naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffon. But often the world of the minuscule escapes the eye, when nature, in its minute details, seems to resonate with a life too discreet to be perceived. Fauna and flora, in their infinite variety, remain that fragile, complex yet essential universe, where every form, every texture, every nuance weaves the invisible threads of balance.
This mystery, this élan vital, this beauty often ignored, is also the quest to which Ambre Gaude devotes herself. Her works, frescoes, paintings... are not simply about representing nature: they reveal it, explore it, recompose it. It's less an imitation than a communion, a dialogue between art and the living, where the eye loses itself in the delicate curves of an insect or the subtle shadows of a leaf. Faced with these creations, the viewer is invited to slow down, to observe, to rediscover the brilliance of the small, the ephemeral, the almost invisible.
The artist precisely captures the complexity of textures and shapes, while infusing his approach with a subtle poetry. What could simply be an exercise in scientific accuracy becomes a meditation on the balance between detail and whole, between matter and imagination. Through her abstract paintings and hyper-realistic sculptures, she combines technical rigor and artistic sensitivity to reach the very essence of life.
Each of Ambre Gaude's works is a window onto a nature that is both immediate and timeless, a suspended moment where reality mingles with intuition. But behind this beauty, a more serious reflection emerges. The artist seems to whisper that what she captures may one day fade away, that this fragile richness is also what humanity threatens with its indifference.
By sublimating local biodiversity, the artist not only celebrates living things, she also makes them a silent appeal, an invitation to preserve what, in its very discretion, constitutes our greatest treasure. In this space where the real and the dream come together, her work develops as an eulogy of life and a gentle yet deeply poignant warning. And it is perhaps here, in this quest for meaning, that Gilbert Keith Chesterton's thought resonates: "The world will never die for lack of wonder, but only for lack of wonder."
