Marie Aubeline Hiot's work moves between the pastry kitchen and the studio. Food is her starting point: not as subject, but as memory, sensation, and form.
Artist Bio: Marie-Aubeline (b. 1998, Royan / France) is a French artist based in Sydney, Australia. She has a background as a Pastry Chef before completing a BFA in painting at the National Art School. She is represented with Bison Art Sydney.
A multidisciplinary artist, she focuses on painting and sculpture, exploring the sensory and emotional connections people have with food. Her work navigates themes of nostalgia, joy, and the passage of time, often reflecting on shared moments around food that evoke warmth and connection.
Her practice is divided into two key series: the oil series and the textured series. In the oil series, Marie-Aubeline creates detailed, vibrant paintings of food scenes, celebrating the ritual of sharing meals with loved ones. The textured series, however, is more abstract and heavily textured, imitating the appearance of butter, gelato, or cake icing.
Both series invite viewers to reconnect with their memories and emotions around food.
Marie-Aubeline's work is playful and cheeky, particularly her Ice Pop sculptures, which appear as if they're melting. These sculptures symbolise the fleeting nature of time and remind us to savor the moment before it slips away. Her art is meant to bring joy to the viewer, sparking a sense of nostalgia while encouraging an appreciation for life's simple pleasures.Through her exploration of food and its cultural significance, Marie-Aubeline creates work that is both visually delightful and emotionally resonant, leaving viewers with a sense of warmth and happiness.
