Every mark begins with defiance of silence, of tradition, of the frame itself. Junié works between eras: oil, paper, pigment but never reverent. This is no gallery. It’s a working room. The kind where hands stay stained, ashtrays stay full, and the piece decides when it’s done..
Where color collides with conviction

A studio for creation, commission, and collected work.
Artist's Ground

Read Her Full Bio
I was born just beyond the vineyard walls of Château La Coste, where sculpture fields and silence shaped my earliest sense of form. I work primarily in oil, pigment, and pencil always on raw ground, always by hand. My practice moves at the pace of interruption: the quiet between ideas, the tension before execution. I focus on portraiture, though not always in the way people expect. Sometimes it’s the subject I remember. Sometimes just the shadow they left behind.
Today, I live and work in Provence surrounded by unfinished canvases, ashtrays, and the kind of light that doesn’t ask for attention.
A practice shaped by place, pigment, and restraint.
Portrait of the Artist
A studio is not a gallery but some frames carry their own insistence images that return, interrupt, or quietly stay. The selections below offer a closer view into Junié’s ongoing body of work: some finished, some still in process, all held with intention.

Impressions

— CLARA BENOÎT
“The painting didn’t remind me of anyone I know, but it reminded me of a version of myself I haven’t seen in years. It’s not beautiful in the obvious way, but every time I look at it, I feel steadier like something has been marked and made real.”

“I kept it wrapped for a week before hanging it. Not out of hesitation but reverence. There’s something in the texture that feels older than me, like it’s been passed down. My daughter asked me why the woman looked away. I told her, maybe because she already knew we were watching.”

“I didn’t plan to buy anything. I came for the wine and stayed for that one canvas in the corner. It wasn’t meant to be the centerpiece, but it became one in my home. There’s a loneliness to it but a warm one. Like the memory of someone who once loved you without question.”

“Everyone kept asking what it meant. I didn’t have an answer, which felt right. Some things speak better in silence. It’s become a kind of mirror in the house changing slightly every time I pass. I think that’s what I like most. It never asks to be understood.”
