Amelie Mancini

b. Lyon, France. Lives and works in Brooklyn, New York

Amelie Mancini’s paintings are emotionally charged depictions of women, often mothers, who are exploring the confines of their world. Working primarily in oil, Mancini’s work explores the joys and pangs of attachment. The paintings are visual and legible records of the actions and decisions taken throughout their making.

In her most recent series, Mancini depicts female figures engaged in familiar acts of care: holding, carrying, supporting, nurturing, cradling–their pets, their children, their homes, themselves, and ultimately the world at large. Contending with a hectic world, these women act as keystones, building space for themselves and theirs. Under Mancini’s brush, her figures turn into vessels of light and color, their bodies pulsating with an otherworldly energy.

Amelie Mancini is a painter, printmaker, and textile designer. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Visual Arts from Sorbonne University in Paris, France. In 2022, she was the recipient of both the RWS Award and the Publicity Award from the Royal Watercolor Society in London, and in 2024, she completed the Canopy Program at the NYC Crit Club under the mentorship of Matt Phillips and Catherine Haggarty. 

Mancini has exhibited widely, with recent shows including Wedding Party at Gallery 198 in Brooklyn, Fuzzy Wheel at The Canopy Studio in New York, LUSH at Hashimoto Contemporary in New York, and Summer Show at Maake Projects at State College, Pennsylvania. The artist and her work have been featured in I Like Your Work (online exhibition), Friend of the Artist (Vol. 16), New Visionary Magazine (Issue 5), and No Business Magazine. Born and raised in Lyon, France, the artist now lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
