About

Carel Marso’s work explores perception as a shifting psychological state, rooted in moments of stillness and quiet attention. Through pastel drawings and paintings, she creates visual spaces where emotion is distilled.

 

Working with organic forms and restrained color palettes, she approaches color as a subtle expressive vocabulary. As historian Michel Pastoureau observes, colors are never innocent; they speak, murmur, and carry meaning. In her practice, color operates through softness and nuance, inviting slow looking and emotional attentiveness.

 

Beirut has shaped Marso’s need to express through color and form, allowing her to articulate what resists language. Her practice proposes calm as an active position, a way of reimagining reality through balance, contemplation, and inner clarity. 

 

This exhibition unfolds across three spaces, each proposing a distinct way of perceiving life: intimacy through detail, time experienced as a continuous yet fragmented landscape, and a final encounter with a single work that holds complexity in suspension. Together, these spaces trace how perception shifts between closeness and distance, movement and rest.
