After studying graphic arts in Paris, Marylin Cavin worked for several years as a graphic designer, then as a textile designer. Her artistic career really began about twenty years ago with the collaboration of a major Parisian fashion house for which she created models based on Matisse. This was the turning point. She then decided to devote herself solely to her painting.
Marylin Cavin paints characters evolving in a sober environment, in scenes of life that reflect our contemporary world.
"Everyone, she says, can imagine what they want from these snapshots. The canvas does not show anything other than what we see. These people are just there, we are looking at them, but in fact, we are looking at ourselves. It's a reflection of who we all are. The canvas is a mirror. What matters to me is to show a suspended moment that can reveal each of us."
