Monique Rey-barthelemy

French printmaker born and based in Lyon. Trained at the Beaux‑Arts in her hometown, she works with a variety of traditional printing techniques and is a member of several artist-run centres. Her artistic world unfolds through abstract, subtly textured prints, sometimes reminiscent of fine metalwork due to their visual richness. Often working in small paper formats, her pieces reveal blurry, enigmatic forms—fragments of landscapes, crumpled fabrics, interior scenes—that float between conscious perception and dreamlike memory. She has exhibited in various venues, especially in Lyon, where the gentle depth and poetic resonance of her work have been widely recognized. Her timeless and contemplative approach gives each print a quiet, poetic stillness.
