L'artiste

Born in Brussels, Belgium, Aurélie Beer is a multidisciplinary artist whose every creation evokes a deep emotional catharsis. Her obsession with embellishing the world and everyday life with colour stems from her personal journey, marked by experiences that have sculpted her sensitivity and creativity.

Exposed from childhood to betrayal, jealousy and family secrets, Aurélie quickly found refuge in art. She first attended the Kent Institute of Art and Design, then Middlesex University in London, where she immersed herself in a variety of artistic disciplines, from fashion and sculpture to painting and set design. Her teachers played a pivotal role in guiding her unique aesthetic and penchant for classicism.
She worked for a time in fashion at Façonnable and C&A (2004-2005), during which time she produced minimalist, masculine designs that revealed her attraction to authenticity and her ability to capture the essence beyond artifice. Although she was spotted by Max Mara and Margiela, she experienced disappointment and the doors to success were slow to open.
In 2008, Aurélie discovered a new kind of happiness when she travelled to Africa and India and settled in Peru. She thrived in motherhood and let her passion for architecture guide her in the renovation of flats in Belgium and several Peruvian houses (several locations) from 2012 to 2016. At the same time, the artist Gabriel Alaysa became a benevolent guide in her exploration of monumental painting.

Guided by self-study, she explores oil and acrylic paint to materialise characters emerging from emotional fog within monumental formats. Dance influences her pictorial gestures, breathing life and energy into each brushstroke.
In 2010, genealogical research opens a new chapter. Writing became an outlet with ‘Textes enragés’, a collection of everyday phrases transformed into artistic fulgurances, and over time became more fluid in the play Entre deux, mon cœur (2019), a reflection on the female condition, before acquiring a therapeutic dimension in the short story Le rêve de patience (2021).
