Emma Godebska

Emma Godebska is a French abstract artist who currently resides and works in Nimes, France. Her artistic concentration; trace and memory, has more recently become a transitive, radical capture of movement. Godebska’s use of natural pigments, reflective of nature itself, is in dialogue with diluted acrylic paint and performative expressions of unchoreographed, ritualistic movements. She describes her process as a visual Tai Chi in search of inner peace. Color-making is meditative and methodical. Spending hours mixing the proper color corresponds to a feeling or emotion. Joan Mitchell also spoke of painting feelings and told Yves Michaud in 1986, “Painting is a means of feeling ‘living.”
