Art on the way of fire: the volcanic world of Anne Herzog.

Made of acrylic paint, ink, wax, metal on canvas or paper, the abstract works of Anne Herzog, reflect the environment in which they were made: white shades like snow, silver like the sky, black as volcanic rocks, red like lava, a context found in Iceland in the Snaefellsnes she likes.

An allegorical quest for a portal to the underworld, or the gateway to a hidden realm, the Snæfellsjökull, evoked by Jules Vernes in his "Journey to the Center of the Earth", is a volcano that preoccupies her.

Frenchwoman living in New York before moving to Iceland in 2010, Anne Herzog is a graduate of Fine Arts from Nantes and has a master's degree from the University Pantheon Sorbonne.

She sought on the volcanoes of the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean and Northern Europe to nourish a passion that she translates through documentaries and canvases with Stendhalian tones ... she tracks on the ground a "direct contact with another world ".
