About the Item
"The initial idea was rather an acknowledgement of powerlessness in the face of all that the future offers us of a damaged planet, of a war in space... And then my energy was manifested by great gestures that open up a dynamic. I needed to light up the sphere and put on smiles with red dots. The only solution is to live and enjoy the moment. »
It is an abstract work, playing on a marked technical contrast.
The support is immediately visible thanks to a generous impasto on the canvas, giving a very rough and tactile texture on the white background. It is this base that captures and reflects light.
The artist then uses a mixed technique to construct a dynamic movement. A confident impetus dominates the composition: mainly white, black and grey.
At the center of this vortex, a large disk serves as a focal point.
The energy of Carpe Diem lies in the integration of selected elements into this controlled chaos:
• a tapered pattern suggesting flight is applied near the luminary shining like an opportunity.
• Soft green reliefs areas and red dots bring lightness and a touch of cheerfulness.
It is the union between the vivid, abstract gesture and the floating elements that gives this painting its meaning: the urgency to capture the beauty at the heart of the movement of life.

Emmanuelle Vroelant
Born in 1952, Emmanuelle Vroelant has been living and working in Roscoff, Brittany since 2006. Despite a real attraction for artistic creation, her parents encouraged her to study. After graduating in psychology, she leaves to discover the world and it is far from the family weight that she gives life to her first child. She moved to Vanuatu where she met artist Juan Roderta and journalist Alphonso Colondro. These two men allow a real questioning of the artist who discovers the need to paint. On her return to Paris, she opened her first studio in 1981 and ended up exhibiting in 1985, 86, 88 and 89 at the Grand Palais Autumn Show, allowing her to start an international career.After two years of illness, Emmanuelle lost her inspiration and opened a psychoanalyst practice in Paris, where she practised art therapy. In 2006, she left her Parisian life to settle in Brittany, which allowed her to regain a creative energy. At the request of collector Michel Chamming’s, Emmanuelle successfully exhibited in Paris in 2009. During the inauguration of a New York gallery, she meets Jean-Claude Reumont who offers her to represent her for China. Today, Emmanuelle Vroelant’s works are present in the United States, China and France.
