Oriane began drawing at the age of 6, alongside her father, a painter and designer by profession. Painting came to Oriane at the age of 19. She began by studying ethnology and the anthropology of the living arts at the Faculté des Lettres in Nice, France. After these studies she returned to her first passion: painting.

​

Her first influences were Picasso and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Her work consists of a desire to distort imagined bodies and faces. Open mouths, muffled cries of suffering. Today, she composes with new ideas of faces and shapes. Now she presents a new series of paintings based on existing people. A new exercise that has emerged from her creativity and a new technique. A new relationship with the body is created. It's humanization of the canvas. How can we better represent anguish, neurosis and sobriety in the light of real people around us? Male characters are very often represented, even if we can't always tell.

​

''The sex that nature has given me, my femininity, is proving to be a source of anxiety for me. I have a somewhat conflicted relationship with female curves. The body is a separate part of the human mind. It can correspond, get along or, on the contrary, go to war with itself. We interpret it in our own way, just by thinking about it. We think of the body with several tools. It's with the brush that I've tried to listen to it and understand it. 

​

Expression brings it to life. Happy, joyful expression doesn't really inspire me. I'm looking for pleasure in displeasure. For if we love all the things that, culturally, we should despise, then perhaps happiness awaits us. One day, my body will transform, if it isn't already transforming, today. Let my shadow remain intact through these deformations. My ambition is to distort the body so as not to become too attached to it''.
