About Yuna

Visual artist, Yuna Moret was born in 1983, lives and works in Troyes. A graduate of the ENSAAMA Olivier de Serres in Paris in 2002 with honors, she improves in the traditional techniques of fresco in Morocco and Venice. She continued her training at the Conservation Centre and Heritage Restoration Architectural governed by UNESCO in Venice. In 2006, she participated in the restoration of a Middle Bronze archaeological site in Lebanon, under the leadership of Jean-Paul Thalmann. Always attracted by experimenting with different techniques, Yuna decides to continue his research as part of a personal artistic production. She draws, paints and engraves strange and dreamlike universes that question the human.

Dérive (drift): female name. The moving away from the usual way, on an adventure. The letting go without reacting. The displacement not controlled of a floating object due to the effect of the wind or current. Through the different definitions that we attach to this term it seems to describe the movement that accompanies a form in its evolution or its mutation as that of thought, of a body, of a sensation, of an element ... The artist aims to analyze the meaning of the drift inspired by geological, geographical and geopolitical movements. Starting from the research done on cartographic documents and images of Earth Yuna Moret studies the evolution of our vision on the world through the centuries. Therefore she raises questions about our will to conquest and appropriation of territories by examining the history of civilizations and the causes that lead to their extinction, from natural phenomena to economic, political and cultural drifts that push some civilization to destroy the others. The key to this path will be the perception of our own drift, the one that characterizes us as individuals; the one that allows us to venture, to project ourselves into the world to learn to understand it, to learn to understand ourselves. "Dérive" through an initiatory path littered with pictorial installations, paintings, volumes, materials and different techniques aims to build a metaphorical universe offering a unique and symbolic representation of the world in which we live and arousing in the viewer that exaltation and euphoria typical of the explorer, discoverer of new continents. The exhibition is imagined as an incitement to the journey that invites each of us to let go, to discover a new world, to dive, to conquer, to contemplate. Yuna Moret has completed "Dérive" during a residency at the Foundation Aurelio Petroni in April and May 2013.
