Amelie Mancini is a French-American painter and printmaker based in Brooklyn, NY. Working primarily in oil and watercolor, her work is rooted around the female figure. Her paintings are a visual and legible record of the actions and decisions taken throughout the making. Each painting is a puzzle to be solved, when it reaches a state of equilibrium, where every inch of the surface is considered and connected to the whole.
“In my own life I often feel like the ground is shifting under my feet, and painting is the way that I can steady myself. Out of the chaos of the world, I find meaning through a process of layering paint, mixing patterns, colors and registers, and setting my figures into familiar scenes and poses, tipping them just so.”
Originally from France, Mancini received her BFA in Visual Arts from the Sorbonne University in Paris. In 2024 and 2025 she was a participant in NYC Crit Club’s Canopy program, where she worked under the mentorship of Matt Phillips and Catherine Haggarty. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, in group shows at Hashimoto Contemporary (New York, NY), Maake Projects (State College, PA), Gallery 198 (Brooklyn, NY), and Canopy Studio (New York) and online with Blue Shop Gallery in London (Works On Paper 4 and 5) and mepaintsme’s 2023 Open Call. She is the 2021 recipient of the Royal Watercolour Society Award.
