Marie de Villepin: Turn to Salt at Villepin Art

Rooted deeply in mythological stories and filled with art history references, these paintings capture emotional moments and personal memories. Their rich textures and expressive colours evoke contemplation on loss and grief, longing and hope, nostalgia and belonging.
(Fun fact: in traditional Haitian Vodou salt has a power to return memory, unfortunately only to zombies — dead people whose souls were captured by bokor. After eating salt, a zombie will become aware of its death and will no longer be forced to work and can finally rest in peace.)
