Artist
For the exhibition at the Carrousel du Louvre, Paris 2026, a deliberately reduced and quality-oriented selection of international artistic positions was made:
Eve Monnier, Jaqueline Tarle, and Rame Dardania.
This decision was not easy for us. Several artistic contributions were considered during the curatorial process. The final selection is based on thematic depth, individual style, international relevance, and a coherent overall composition within the exhibition concept.
The aim is a clear, calm, and powerful presentation in which each artist receives the space it deserves. The deliberate reduction to a few artists allows for greater curatorial focus and harmonious visual guidance within an international context.
The exhibition is complemented by selected works from Valerijana Krasniqi's "4D Magic Tree" series. This series provides a conceptual framework and creates a unifying structure within the overall presentation.
The curatorial direction is in the hands of Valerijana Krasniqi, President of Artistike – Swiss Art Association.
Eve Monnier
Eve Monnier was born in 1968 in Biel/Bienne. From 1994 onward, she began presenting her work in both collective and solo exhibitions.
Eve Monnier is a painter. In other words, she creates paintings, visions. These are deeply personal visions, slightly unreal, perhaps a little dreamlike, a little magical. They are visions of things she has truly seen, which she often first captures through photography. She then sketches them to create a first raw material, an initial trace that she later develops in her studio, refining and shaping it further.
In a long creative process, she explores a multitude of forms, lines, experiments and fragments of images. Among these many possibilities, one eventually emerges. From that chosen direction, she begins to paint.
For Artistike,
I thank you for your trust and I am delighted about this exhibition together in Paris. What a wonderful opportunity.
Rame Dardania
Rame Dardania develops an artistic practice rooted in naïve figuration and intuitive expression, where simplified forms and emotional intensity create an immediate visual language. His works reflect the relationship between the individual and the collective, using personal symbolism and raw structures as a means of artistic communication. This approach opens spaces for reflection, placing authenticity and human emotion at the very center of the work.
What artistry means to me
Artistry is a space where art does not need to be explained or justified. It is a place where feeling, authenticity, and the personal voice of the artist take priority. I am part of this project because I believe in art that grows out of real experience, and because Artistry builds a community in which art is understood as a human necessity rather than a product.
Jacqueline Tarle
Jacqueline Tarle is a contemporary artist whose work is rooted in a profound exploration of authenticity and emotion. Through a sensitive and committed painting practice, she investigates memory, identity, and the universal dimension of human experience.
What artistry means to me:
Artistike embodies a space of freedom where everyone can discover their imagination, experiment, learn, and develop. It is also a place of exchange and collaboration, where talents meet, complement each other, and create meaningful joint projects.
Valerijana Krasniqi
Valerijana Krasniqi creates a unique, multidimensional artistic language in which mixed media, sculptural structures, and intuitive digital compositions merge into a new and distinctive art form. Her works possess symbolic depth, inner vision, and a clear signature style that opens up emotional spaces.
