Chloé Kelly Miller is from Normandy, born in Rouen in 1995. Her brushes dance across the colour palette, creating symphonies of colour that awaken forgotten emotions. Each stroke is a melody on canvas, each shadow a story unfolding before our eyes. Let's plunge into the magic of her art, where the imaginary blends with the real, and discover together the secrets hidden in the soul of this creator of pictorial universes. Join us on this visual journey and learn more about the visionary behind these captivating creations!

Corinne Warinsko welcomes me to the Mark Hachem gallery on Place des Vosges, where she is exhibiting one of her latest creations. Near a bay window, hung in natural light under transparent Plexiglas, a colour chart immediately catches our attention. The work is mesmerising: paper cubes stuck with pins cast shadows that change throughout the day. The work is meticulous and elegant, delicate and masterful. Corinne Warinsko explains.

I started working in television in Italy in 1977, but it wasn't until 1982 that my long career as a presenter officially began: for over twenty years I presented programmes on Canale 5, becoming the official face of the channel and also hosting several of my own shows. In 2003, after more than 40,000 television appearances, I ended my working relationship with the broadcaster and chose to change my life: I moved to Nice in France, where I opened my painting studio at 31 rue Droite in 2007.
