" Michelle Auboiron is always in direct contact with the event or instantaneous emotion from which she powerfully restitutes the lights and ambiences. Totally immerged in daily reality, that of the street and newspaper headlines, that of the architecture of cities and places she visits, she gathers information endlessly, and, suddenly, she "focuses". Then, filled with all the atmospheres she has absorbed, she paints with rapid brush strokes, only inspired by feelings and intuition. From this "Polaroid-view", emerges a piece of art, both powerful and sensible, where the essence of the figurative and the vigorousness of the abstract are reconciled. If Michelle Auboiron often chooses to make series of paintings in a short laps of time, it is to better reflect the instability of lights and emotions."

For each series of paintings, Michelle AUBOIRON sets up its own great exhibit in various unusual places. She has also a permanent gallery in Paris : "AUBOIRON exclusive" - 27, rue des Saints Pères 75006 Paris.

Michelle had also several exhibitions in the United State (Las Vegas, Sedona, Aspen) and in China (Shanghai)
