BIOGRAPHY
Mallorca, 1987. Based in Bordeaux
Gabriela Meunié’s work arises from a particular life context: French-American born in Mallorca, she was imbued with the abstract artistic currents that flourished on the Mediterranean island during the eighties.
Although her formative years took place in the academic field, she has always felt part of the abstract expressionist current. In line with her precedents, she emphasizes the process to avoid theoretical excess. Meunié’s method is, hence, defined by spontaneity and instinct.
She creates her own colors based on pure pigments, acrylic binder, and acrylic colors. On the canvas, the materials express themselves in an interplay of opacities, densities, spots, and splashes that constitute the artist’s meticulous vocabulary. Meunié applies it with thick brushstrokes and builds the canvas through layers. Even though the piece is to be considered finished, it continues to speak to its witnesses.

STATEMENT
Gabriela Meunié (b. 1987, Mallorca) is a French-American painter based in France. Her abstract practice centres on colour, gesture and the physical behaviour of paint. Raised in an artistic family in Mallorca, she developed an early connection to the island’s abstract painting tradition and later studied at Escola Massana in Barcelona, graduating in 2010 with a focus on painting.
Meunié prepares colours using pure pigments, acrylic binders and acrylic paints. Her process brings opaque passages into dialogue with fluid stains, splashes and layered brushwork. Guided by instinct and sustained attention to composition, she allows movement, density and the canvas surface to shape each work.
Selected exhibitions include Escat Gallery, Barcelona (2025); Geoffray Gallery, France (2024); Casa Estudio Granados, Menorca (2023); and Crédit Agricole’s regional headquarters in Bordeaux (2023). Her work and studio have been featured in Piece with Artist and IN PALMA.
Escat Gallery presents a selection of Meunié’s available paintings on Artsy, from concentrated colour studies to large-scale canvases.
