De Lorme is a committed artist. Her contemporary figurative style conveys a narrative that aims to shake up and provoke confrontational reflection, in the face of the absurdity of our current world. Her large canvases are not only joyfully tangy and feminine, they ironically reflect the issues of our time, transmitting a powerful social, political or moral message. She questions inequalities, overconsumption, greenwashing, sexism or patriarchy. The acrylic colors are saturated, her rapid and bold brushstrokes cover some collages erased by the layers of paint. These very current compositions whisper to us the struggles but also the hopes of our time. A duality between an aesthetic work and a reflection.
Her latest serie painted in Lisbon in 2024 marks a break with the last decades of collage practice, both in subject matter and technique.

Nascida em Paris, Delphine de Lorme é uma artista multidisciplinar autodidata.
Estudou dança, teatro e começou a sua carreira em Paris, na indústria mediática, continuando a pintar.
Sua primeira exposição de arte aconteceu em 2004 na Place des Vosges, em Paris. Desde então, o seu trabalho foi exibido em Manila, Singapura, Hong Kong e Yangon.
Em 2006, tomou a decisão de mudar de vida e mudou-se com a família para Cebu, nas Filipinas. Sua visão artística a leva a um novo playground, ela abre seu estúdio de design de interiores. Em 2013 durante uma viagem, ficou cativada pela riqueza artística e diversidade cultural de Myanmar, fez de Yangon a sua nova casa!

Sempre preocupada com os problemas ambientais, em 2018 fundou “YangonWalls”, um projeto social e filantrópico de arte de rua que reabilita as ruas de lixo de Yangon numa galeria ao ar livre.
Delphine é uma artista engajada. Seu estilo figurativo contemporâneo é um veículo narrativo que se torna bousculer e provoca uma reflexão confrontacional, face ao absurdo de nosso mundo atual. Se estas grandes labutas não fazem parte do seu joyeusement acidulées, femininos, reflectem com ironia o enjeux of notre temps, transmitindo uma mensagem percutante social, política ou moral. Interroga-se sobre desigualdades, la superconsommation, le greenwashing, le sexisme ou le patriarchat... ou s'alarme de la dégradation de nosso meio ambiente. As cores acrílicas são saturadas, seus golpes de pinceaux rápidos e audaciosos recuperam aquelas colagens apagadas pelos sofás de pintura. Estas composições três atos nous murmurent les combats mais aussi les espoirs de notre temps. Uma dualidade entre uma obra estética e uma reflexão. A primeira série “Lessivée” que chega a Lisboa em 2024 marca uma ruptura com a última década da prática da colagem, tanto quanto com o tema que dá a técnica.
