ABOUT EMMANUELLE DAHL ART
Emmanuelle Dahl is a Norwegian-American artist based in Paris. Her work unfolds through painting and drawing, where memory, spirituality, and symbolism meet to form a personal pictorial language.
At the heart of her practice are powerful female figures sovereign, indomitable presences that embody her stories, thoughts, and experiences.
Through them, she explores universal themes such as identity, desire, fear, faith, and transformation, while giving visibility to women as central subjects of strength and freedom.
Symbols drawn from astrology, animals, and the Tarot are woven into her works as signs of intention, manifestation, and becoming. They act as catalysts, shaping narratives that bridge the intimate and the collective.
Her art is a space where the mystical and the real converge, offering not just images but embodied poems that invite reflection, liberation, and hope.
WOMAN IN MY ART
Women have always been at the heart of my life and my art. I grew up surrounded by them with three sisters, a strong mother, and a lineage where creation was passed from generation to generation. My mother painted nude women throughout her life, and from her
I inherited the conviction that women’s bodies and spirits radiate a singular force and grace.
In my work, women are muses. I paint them to give them visibility, to honor their freedom and their sacred role, especially where history or society has silenced, mocked, or diminished them. They are the central figures I have chosen to embody my stories, my experiences, my thoughts, and the themes of life that move me.
