I think that figurative art was a bias that put up barriers to my creativity. I did a lot of figurative work for years, but I gradually realized that abstraction offers incredible freedom. It's a wonderful outlet for a painter and, for me, almost therapeutic. I saw so many possibilities.”
At the age of twenty-five, Tiffany Bouelle, a painter and performance artist focused on the representation of women, drew the attention of LVMH for an artistic collaboration while publicly presenting her personal drawings for the first time. Her work has since been shown in French cultural institutions including the Monnaie de Paris, the JAD, and the Musée des Arts et Métiers, as well as at the contemporary art fair Asia Now in 2019 and 2020 and at BAD in Bordeaux in 2023.
Trained in traditional Japanese calligraphy by her grandfather, Bouelle has developed a Franco-Japanese artistic framework shaped by annual periods spent in Japan since childhood.
This background informed her shift in 2020 toward a minimalist approach with the series La Femme Objet. In 2022, her work integrated botanical structures in the series Seinaru Mori (The Sacred Forest of Postpartum), presented at Galerie Porte B in Paris.
In 2024, she introduced a group of figurative works based on visions, folk narratives, and constructed imaginary environments. She also produced a series on the principles of chabana, presented in Kyoto in autumn 2024.
In 2025, Bouelle begins a new research cycle focused on natural disasters.
This investigation, planned for 2025 and 2027, examines the material, social, and symbolic impacts of such events. The project reinforces her ongoing work at the intersection of French and Japanese cultural contexts, both marked by distinct environmental histories. This cycle will structure her forthcoming exhibitions in Tokyo, Brussels, and Venice.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, including in Paris, Brussels, Venice, Geneva, London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, and has been the subject of collaborations in the fields of fashion, design, and hospitality.
