COLETTE GUISOLAN-DREYER, Art Historian

For Marie Vieli painting is a language full of colours, movement and transparency. As you watch her work, you discover her fiery temperament and her intense creative concentration. Vast colourful gestures fill the surface of the canvas or paper. Gradually the work develops through the emergence of shapes followed by their partial disappearance beneath the glaze. The brisk and nimble brush strokes the canvas and gives birth to a fine network of lines.
