What if the most powerful landscapes were those we believe we have forgotten?

​

Mégane Likin (b. 1994, Huy) works in series, persistently returning to the same motifs: mountain peaks, openings between trees, horizon lines. In modest formats and with a reduced palette, forms gradually fade, leaving behind only contrasted silhouettes — like memories in the process of disappearing. By fixing these nearly vanished images — perhaps imagined — the artist affirms their fragility. Each painting becomes the imprint of an ephemeral moment, a space of silence and contemplation.

Between memory and forgetting, the work invites us to inhabit this in-between, to project our own memories into these suspended landscapes.
“I offer a place where the gaze comes to rest, yet where the trace continues to exist.”

Within this sensitive and introspective approach, transience becomes material. Page after page, Mégane Likin offers a subtle encounter with what each of us carries within — something both intimate and diffuse: the trace of a fleetingly glimpsed world.
