Her upcoming solo exhibition invites viewers to reflect on intimacy, desire, and empathy.
A Personal and Intimate Perspective
Les Veilleuses, opening at Stems Gallery in Brussels on August 14, features paintings of friends, family, and lovers captured in private, warm-lit settings. Piard’s compositions are tightly framed, creating a quiet, introspective atmosphere that draws the viewer into moments of shared stillness.
Challenging Perceptions of Female Nudity
Through her work, Piard reframes female bodies with empathy, exploring desire without sexualization. Using sculpted wooden panels and smooth stone as canvases, she presents subjects in a way that is both intimate and liberating, emphasizing tenderness over spectacle.
Painting as Mutual Emancipation
For Piard, the act of painting and the human form are inseparable. Her work transforms, tells, and conveys experience, allowing both artist and subject to share in a process of reflection and liberation. Les Veilleuses will be on view through September 14 at Stems Gallery, offering a profound meditation on connection and the human body.
