View worksMy work is part of a desire for immersion and observation. Painting is a way of inhabiting the world. From this precious jewel that is life, a tension is woven between my gaze and the secret that the world holds. Each subject is an offering that I want to honor, without artifice; with the awareness of my own fragility. It is a direct, patient, almost meditative relationship. It is about my eyes, the world, and my path of understanding that is built over time. My work develops within this dialogue with reality, grappling with light, seasons, moods, the texture of materials, the weight of silence, and the call of the senses. In this silent exchange with the visible, I seek to reveal, to become one with, and to capture the exact moment where painting comes into being, and where vulnerability becomes a strength of presence.

View worksMarc Dailly was born in 1978 in Geneva. He studied in Lyon, at the Emile Cohl school, where he obtained his diploma as an illustrator in 2004. But very quickly he devoted himself to painting, his first passion, and in particular to oil, a real heart stroke. He finds his inspiration in the art of the 19th and 20th centuries, from the realism of the Russian school to the Nabis. He manages to exhibit each year in various galleries in France, Switzerland, Holland, New York or Germany. . “I’m afraid of controlling my painting too much, I prefer to give free rein to my subconscious, which will probably know how to tell stories much better than I do.”
