Amelie Peace is a French artist based in London. Her practice explores this idea of the Unspoken: an invisible language of human experiences. It exists before words, in the body, in dreams, in memory, and in the silent exchanges between people. It is the moment when emotion is recognised before it is understood: the tightening of the chest, a lingering gaze, a sudden ache, or the feeling of being both vulnerable and protected at once.
Her practice is driven by the question: How can experiences that exist before language be given form? Through painting, she investigates the subconscious and the body as sites where invisible emotional and psychological states become visible. Rather than illustrating narratives, her symbolic figures and dream-like imagery construct a visual language that communicates through feeling rather than explanation.
Drawing from queer literature, dreams, and close observation of the world around her, she creates psychologically charged paintings in which fear and hope, tenderness and violence, intimacy and isolation, control and surrender coexist. These are not presented as opposites to be resolved, but as simultaneous states that reflect the complexity of human experience.
Painting becomes a space where meaning remains open. Rather than asking the viewer to decode an image, her work invites them to recognise something instinctively—to encounter emotions and sensations that resist language yet remain deeply familiar.

Prints: Etchings, Monoprints & Tetrapacks
“I empty my mind, I place before it the still recent taste of this first mouthful, and I feel something trembling in me, at a profound depth, something that has been dislodged and wants to rise up, something that might be unanchored; I don’t know what it is, but it climbs up slowly; I feel the resistance, hear the murmur of the distances being traversed.” ~ Marcel Proust
Printmaking is just like a puzzle, it is a calculated, reversed, complex, it has many pathways and guidlines to follow. Like this Proust quote the artist connects to printmaking unlike any other medium. Printing makes it’s own, it is addictive and enchanting. As a medium it demands precision and adherence to defined guides. For Peace, printmaking is just another way of exploring the art of gesture, the process of storytelling.
