Cyrielle Shoorens, aka Cy, is a French abstract painter based in Cossonay, Switzerland. Working on large canvases, she lets herself be transported by the rhythm of music and the flow of her intuition. Acrylic paint, chosen for its quick drying time and versatility, is the perfect complement for the artist’s impulsive and ebullient temperament. Expressive palette knife applications form dynamic patterns that reflect her emotional fervor and forge compelling tactual pathways.
If music is her muse, nature is her nourishment. Daytime communion with the outdoors is essential for Cy, who takes long strolls by the lake or in the woods to replenish her creative well. When night falls, she revels in the silence and soft glow of the town, painting away till dawn. Her work is reflective of her love of nature and the nocturnal, particularly the water element, which translates into a palette dominated by navy blues and deep purples.
Pulsating to the cadence of melodies, nature, and her own heartbeat, Cy infiltrates people’s emotional realm, awakening powerful memories and associations.

I paint large abstract paintings, letting myself be guided by the rhythm of music and the flow of my intuition. I mix acrylic colors to reveal emotions and let nature show me which path to follow. I sing, dance, cry, and shout while painting, leaving a piece of me and of my heart into each and every artwork I realize.
Nature is also an integral part of my practice. Before I paint, I recharge my creative well by taking long walks by the nearby lake or woods. A lover of the night, I only paint after the sun goes down, when everything quiets down and the city lights are glowing, which yields a palette of deep blues, greens, and purples. Although I don’t have a preconceived direction in mind, I like to access people’s emotional realm, awakening powerful memories and associations.
