Discover the contemporary work of Iris Maryse Stoecklin

I dedicate my art to nature, the environment and the diversity of cultures around the world.

Long sensitized by the deforestation of the Amazon and the fate of the Amerindian peoples,

I paint the peoples of the forest and all the magic of their body paintings; acrylic portraits with feather inlays

and textile and plant materials. In my Vegetal series, I sketch tree shapes on canvases of

large formats that I decorate with threads and fibers as if repairing the damage caused to nature.

I also create murals and trompe l'oeil.

After obtaining a National Diploma in Plant Decoration at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Nice in 1971

I teach Plastic Arts in colleges. At the same time, I create illustrations for children's magazines.

I went to live in Brazil between 1975 and 1981 and I became passionate about the culture of the Amazonian Indians. I discover their fate within the reserves.

These themes are at the heart of my artistic approach.

I made a mini-report for Jeunes Années Magazine on a young Indian woman from the Kamaiura tribe.

Back in Ferance, I studied trompe l'oeil techniques. In 2000, I made a trompe l'oeil on a 150m2 blank wall,

a trompe l'oeil for the Maison Albert Londres in Vichy in 2008. I made in 2022 a mural on a 100m2 wall

for the town of Ris in Auvergne and painted decorations for individuals.
