Manon Blet is a figurative artist based in Biarritz. A graduate in graphic and applied arts, her work
explores the construction of feminine identity within norms internalized from childhood, where acceptance often depended on conformity. Her painting has become a space of reclamation and self-affirmation.
She draws as much from the theatricality of biblical and mythological scenes as from the Japanese pop culture. Each work is an intimate space, inviting the viewer the way one would invite someone into a room where one reveals oneself without pretense. She makes visible the tension between fragility and strength, between pain and softness, a tension deeply embedded in the female experience.
To grow up as a woman is to navigate expectations, injunctions and injustices that delay or blur the construction of the self. Manon paints to encounter herself, to accept herself, and to present herself to others.
